Overall picture
Another low year though very slightly up on the last one.
Really a struggle to find much time to read.

Best fiction: "Detransition, baby".
Question
So as you may have noticed, it's now 20 years since I've been doing these diaries!
But I have less and less time to read, there's less and less time to write them up,
and fewer and fewer people read and respond to blogs. Is two decades the right time to give up?
