General stories from Alan Morris.
These articles contain my weekly diary entries, my bucket list, my food recipes & other things that I find interesting. Along with general information about the place that I live in & frequent in Los Alcázares. They also contain my often told stories of how I have met 'celebrities' during my travels, memories of my past that sometimes come flooding back to me & the occasional joke or three.
I hope you enjoy reading about my interests & that if you disagree with some of my opinions in this section of my website, it won't stop you from buying me a coffee when you see me next. Who knows you could one day end up as a character in one of my stories.
The last week of the year starts in a bit of pain after a bit too much walking last week. My leg is a bit swollen but apart from that, I am fine.

This week was most notable for the loss of my friend & neighbour Russ Morgan. His favourite saying was 'It's nice to be nice' & he was certainly a nice man. He was always available when I needed any help & kept all his friends laughing with his stories & tales of his adventures in the Dominican Republic last year. RIP Russ, you will be missed.
