Journal

This week was spent entirely in Los Alcazares, mainly in my apartment, working on my website. I did get out a couple of times to meet friends for a drink and a chat, but it was a relatively quiet week.

In Week 34 of 2024, I finished the course of physiotherapy on my knee. I met my friends Alison and Lottie for dinner and did a lot of work on my computer at home.

This week was a fairly quiet week again. I didn't find out until the end of the week but another very nice man I know passed away this week, RIP Jim you will be missed but not forgotten.

In Week 35 of 2024, I fell ill with a bug that was doing the rounds. I did manage to go to Cartagena for an appointment at the vaccination centre to learn which vaccinations I needed from my doctor for my trip to Japan.

This week was expected to be a quiet one but ended up being a busy week. I ate out a few times and saw some old friends. I bought a big trolley to transport my kayak around, and I revelled in Arsenal's victory over Manchester United.

This week begins slowly in Los Alcázares, I do some work on my balcony garden & at the end of the week, I take a trip to Albacete to see the group Texas.

This week was quite quiet, but I did catch up with some old friends and collect a trailer to help me move my kayak backwards and forwards to the beach. As long as September stays warm I may now be able to get out on my kayak more often.

In Week 36 of 2024, I spent a lot of time at home as I was unwell at the start of the week. By the end of the week I felt much better and went for a drink one day and a meal another night with good friends.

This week begins in Albacete before coming back home to Los Alcázares. I do work on my balcony garden & install a solar-powered fountain. The big news this week is the loss of Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen is Dead, Long live the King.

In Week 37 of 2024, I had several trips to the doctors for blood tests, which left my arms black and blue, and I had dinner with my friend Debbie at the Masala Cottage restaurant in Los Alcazares.

This week, I started a diet to lose some weight before I go on my cruise, and I also started to try to walk a bit more so that I can manage to walk around a bit more on some of the planned excursions.

This week begins quietly & finishes with a grin on my face as my sister comes to visit & Arsenal wins to go back to the top of the Premier League again.

This week was another quiet week. I did a lot of computer work, I got some new reading glasses, watched two very good Arsenal games on the television and went out for breakfast with my friend June one morning.

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.

This week, I had to do a lot of work on my website. A piece of software I used malfunctioned, and I had to buy new software and install it on the server.  I also had to spend way too much money buying a new watch and mobile phone, which both broke within a couple of days of each other.

This week started wet & stormy but got a lot better. I went out for a meal on two different days, went to a wedding & wedding reception on a third day, had time to go to see a friend singing at a local bar on another day & to top it all off Arsenal beat Spurs 3-1.

This week started with me celebrating my 56th birthday. Many doctors told my family that I wouldn't make it to 25 years old, so I would like to say a big "up yours" to them and a big "thank you" to the doctors, nurses, family and friends who made it possible for me to celebrate my 56th

During week 4 of 2024, I reached the ripe old age of 57, my baked bean birthday. I was cold most of the week, which is strange because the cold I have had for months has started to go.

This week I continued to do lots of work on my photos, adding them to photo albums on my website. I did the important job of renewing my home insurance and got my disability scooter included in it. 

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.
