Cap on head, suit that's red, special night, beard that's white (Bob Dylan)

The me I see in my head


Wie geht's?

Second post on Jade's birthday...

Movember is almost done and dusted. Phew! Just one more day to go.

It would be fair to say that I wasn't looking forward to participating in this (Angel is très persuasive) and I persevered only because friends and family supported me and donated to the men's mental health cause. I feel really good about that bit and that my comparatively insignificant personal sacrifice has had a significant outcome. 

I was also mildly interested to see what a beard would look like, because I've never grown one. Jacky has never been a fan and I've never pushed it. So, this was an opportunity to let my freak flag fly for a month. Cool.

  

The Movember first me

 

After the initial week of feeling self-conscious to the max, I got more used to it over the month, but never felt entirely comfortable. The reality is that having facial hair is just not me. It feels different, I look different, and eating and drinking is uncomfortable.


End of Movember!

 

The funny thing is that Jacky has spent this week trying to persuade me to keep it. Whaaat? Bizarro World. 

Sorry, Light of My Life, but I'm done.

I was toying with the idea of having a poll to see what others' thought (should it stay or should it go?) but that would be disingenuous. 

I can't wait for the end of Movember.

Love and peace - the momentarily hirsute Wozza
