The End of Year review

One might as well start by saying that I had a number of compact discs for Christmas amongst other things that I've just opened and to which in time I'll write a comprehensive review of here.
As well I finally have central heating back on which is a blessed relief from having to sleep in multiple layers and woolen hats just like you would if you were outdoor camping in Winter rather than being at home indoors!
The year excluding what is the core of the other blog saw me spending quite a bit of regressed time with others which as explained last year is so important for my own well-being.
There were a number of major political events and sadly terrorism offences too across the year from The 2017 General Election fight on the backdrop of Brexit which itself was big story, the fluid political situation in Catalonia, the removal of President Mugabe of Zimbabwe and the election of a new leader of South Africa's leading political party both of which have the potential to change many millions of lives in Southern Africa for the better.
There was of course the inauguration of "The Donald" in the States whose twittering was at least as big enough an issue as his political actions and his playground spats with Kim Jong-un of North Korea over missile tests over South Korea and Japan complete with name calling.
Closer to home we had the terrorism incidents in London and Manchester that cost lives, indeed young lives in my area.
These events were talked about on what has become the revitalized That Boarding School Girl blog with improved visual presentation with the restoration of some original sized images on older posts being a journal of Middle writing from her Dorm to an audience that would discuss such things.
We also looked at music marking the deaths of such luminaries as George Michael and Tom Petty and looked at classical music more which ties in with my little side oddly enough looking at composers and great recordings  as I expanded upon the collection I started in the early days of the compact disc,being the format of nearly all of that music in my collection.
This has included an number of multi-disc value packs that offer great performances from the past in space saving boxes ideal for dipping into at leisure on my acquired Marantz super audio cd player. Discussing recordings on a site's thread has helped this process.
We also completed for now the Project X series looking at putting together a small inexpensive stereo system for a small room.
Finally we also did read some books which because of my dyslexia and also developmental disabilities are more vocabulary stretching upper tween books some being shared with the other blog cos that's the elephant in the room we addressed last year of which one gave it's name to this blogs title.
I'd like to thank the Fur Affinity Fursons (and persons), the Angelic ones and the Boneyard Crew for being around.
