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.

This week I went for lunch with my friends Frouk & Reinder & did a lot of work on my website, some of it twice. It was also the week one of my first schoolboy crushes died. RIP Olivia Newton-John.

This week the majority of my time was spent in or around my apartment. The heat this week was stifling & the humidity was very high. I did some swimming & enjoyed the start of the new Premier League Football season.

This week I went out on my kayak on the Mar Menor for the first time since last summer. I went on a coach tour to a Bodega & did some wine tasting. Oh yes, the England Lionesses won the European Championship.

This week I swam every morning until I got stung by a large barrel jellyfish right across my back & shoulder. I also took delivery of a new circulation machine that I hope will help my legs & maybe help with the cramps that I get after walking short distances.

As the week started & I didn't have any real aches or cramps in my leg & I intended to swim every morning. I managed to do this every day except for one, over the week I swam a distance of over 5.2 km.

This week another friend passed away, it seems the older we get the more regularly we begin to lose friends. RIP John, you will be missed. I do a lot of work at the computer this week, a little swimming & enjoy a concert outside my apartment.

This week I do a lot of swimming, buy some furniture, get some jobs done in my apartment, go for a curry with friends, get stung by jellyfish in the Mar Menor, & still find the time to see Madness in concert in Murcia & book a weekend away later in the year.

This week was a fairly quiet week & I didn't get any further than the bank in one direction & the office in the other direction.

This week started slowly, but as I felt better it did mean a return to work to catch up with a pile of work that had built up in my absence.

This week begins in the Hotel Selu in Cordoba, Andalucia. I have gone for a short trip there to see the Patio Festival, where many households open up their homes' courtyards to visitors, who can admire their wonderful flower displays.
