D'you call life a bad job? Never! We've had our ups and downs, we've had our struggles, we've always been poor, but it's been worth it, ay, worth it a hundred times I say, when I look round at my children.
W. Somerset Maugham, 'Of Human Bondage', 1915

It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. W. Somerset Maugham

Happy Birthday, dad. I love you. And all these girls love you, too.

More tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
