Tim Dowling: my wife’s never had to tell me to take things easy before

The amount of wine I’ve drunk to counteract the clockwise spin of everything is possibly responsible for the gentle anticlockwise motion I’m experiencing – a slight miscalculation

I am sitting in a plastic chair at my local surgery, watching the waiting room rock back and forth like the deck of a ferry. After 20 minutes, I am buzzed through a door. I walk down a long corridor, fending off the walls as I go, towards the GP’s office.

On hearing my symptoms, the doctor confirms that I’m suffering from labyrinthitis. He’s not surprised to hear I’ve had vertigo for a full week, and reckons I’ve got at least another week to go. But he says I’ll probably recover.
