Looking on the bright side…

In total contrast to the life-affirming dedication which made Nick Musgrove a pivot of my university's community until his untimely death (see previous blog entry), you could adopt the Philip Larkin Self-Help Mantra. It works for me!

The only good life 

is to live in some sodding seedy city 

and work 

and keep yr gob shut 

and be unhappy

I shall post it on my office door. Preferably in Comic Sans so that nobody ever knocks.
