Being retired means I don't care much about Daylight Saving time. All my networked devices adjust themselves automatically. But I still think it should be abandoned.
In other news: I uploaded six pictures to Fabguys.com this morning and two were rejected!

Ages ago (https://similarworlds.com/social/blogs/4896137-Ninas-Blog-Saturday-16th-December-2023) I promised @being that I would report on my reading of The Art of Invisible Detection by Robert Goddard.
I finally remembered to do it. There was a long period when I couldn't because I mislaid the book.
Anyway. I liked it. It's fairly gentle in some ways, despite a number of murders and I felt a great deal of sympathy for the principal character, Umiko Wada.
Edit 20240403: I forgot to mention that there was one irritating feature, at least it was irritating at the beginning. Goddard has a habit of telling the reader what the characters are thinking. I'm sure other authors do too but it seemed more obtrusive than usual. To me it seems reasonable to tell the reader what the central character thinks but not all the others. We see the world essentially through Umiko Wada's eyes not those of the other characters.
