2022 Journal for Alan Morris.
These journals don’t start until week 18 because I hadn’t intended to do them this year, but because I got bored during COVID, I began to write them again.
The older we get, the more sad times we have, and I lost a few friends and members of my family when they passed away in 2022. To balance those sad times out, I had many great times. I went to some musical events and fiestas, and I went on my first-ever cruise.
I think in 2022, when I look back at it, there were more good times than bad times and I hope that my memory will dwell more on the happy times than the sad times.

Week 52 of 2022 started with me swimming in the Mar Menor with many other people in a Boxing Day swimming event.

The week running up to Christmas seemed to drag by & I felt quite lonely this year, despite spending every Christmas on my own, this year it seemed to affect me more.

Most of this week was spent quietly at home but I was led astray at the end of the week by my friends Stuart & Graham who forced me to have one too many glasses of shandy.

This week was very quiet. It started off at the Doctors who prescribed me more tablets & some gel for my swollen & painful knees. At the end of the week, I went to see the Los Alcázares Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

This week was very quiet, spent mostly with my feet up watching the world cup. But I did go out to see a show at Playa de Espejo outside my apartment. The girl playing with fire was very hot.

This week my leg gets more uncomfortable & I go to see a Doctor. He wants me to go back to see the nurse so she can check my legs for at least a month. He gives me tablets to help with my circulation & tells me I have to wear compression stockings. Apart from that it was a quiet week because I did as the Doctor told me & rested my legs.

The start of this week dragged by as I waited for my holiday towards the end of the week. By the end of the week when I set off for my Mediterranean cruise I was getting really excited.

This week was a strange week, it included several visits to the Doctor, my disability scooter running out of power whilst I was out on it, confirmation of my cabin number for next week's cruise, me singing at karaoke in a bar & watching my friend sing at a bar on another night.

This week started wet but it turned nice mid-week. I spent a lot of time cataloguing my genealogy records for my research & using the Lightroom training I did last week to help me do this. At the end of the week, I went to a birthday party but nearly went twice.

This week was a lot quieter than last week & a lot wetter. I did a lot of online training at home on Adobe Lightroom but did manage to get out to meet some friends I hadn't seen for a few years as well as see Arsenal beat Liverpool to go to the top of the Premier League again.

This week I spent time with my sister Karen & her other half Brett. We went swimming each morning & sat feeding the fish as they swam around us in the Mar Menor. It was great to see each other again after not seeing each other for nearly four years.
