A lady client recalls her father being attached to
a latin motto which contains 'nisi ...horas...serenas' or somesuch....,
I nodded sagely and assured her that "I'd have it somewhere" as I seem
to recall it is popular to the point of being hackneyed ......
Yes indeed Tony!
Horas non numero nisi serenas
I mark only the good-weathered [serene, peaceful, calm] hours.
