Sticky review of 2015 - 2015年のネバネバしたレビュー -


The time of year after Christmas and before New Year is a strange one.  It’s a bit like being in an airport lounge.  You are comfortable enough.  There are plenty of snacks and cheap entertainment to keep you occupied.  But there is a sense that you are stuck between where you have just been and where you are going.
Many people try to fill the time with lists and reviews.  Do a quick internet search for “Review of 2015”, and you’ll quickly come across a whole range of reviews of the year from different perspectives.  In the first few pages I found the following:
ABC News - The Thirteen Biggest News Stories of 2015
The UK government’s  Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015

Best dishwasher of 2015 reviewed
From these, I have been reminded that:
1.
“From start to finish, many of this year’s biggest news stories were centred around violence, terror threats or a general sense of fear.”

2.
“The Uk will work with the rule based international order and help strengthen multi-lateral institutions.”

3.
“High-tech dishwashers effectively remove build-up from your dishes and leave them sparkling clean.”

I don’t know how I could have forgotten these things.
Well, if everyone else is filling in time by compiling lists, then so will I.  Here are links to my favourite three blog posts from the last year.  Relive the sticky, hard to remove blog build-up from 2015.
 
 

 
 

 
Happy New Year.  Best wishes for 2016.
