A few weeks ago I had a telephone conversation with my Neurologist he mentioned that because I have difficulty in walking, need a stick, have dizzy and balance problems I might want to think of a new hobby as tight rope walking might not be appropriate for someone with my condition.

I disagreed of course, I mean, what does he know about tight rope walking.

Thought I’d try Morris dancing but realised I don’t know anybody called Morris.

I tried line dancing but nearly got run over by a train.

SO

I’m thinking of rock climbing pot holing or jumping out of a plane preferably with a parachute, what could possibly go wrong.

I am off now as my carer is heading towards my padded cell with his white coat on and one of those jackets with the laces at the back.

Have a good day all.

Who Cares Wins?

I laughed so much that I dropped my cup of tea, fell out of my wheelchair flattened the dog who instead of helping me get up attacked me and ruined the carpet with blood (mine I think as it was blue!). Never mind I had a glass of whiskey as I was out of tea bags

Happy days. Ted
