Dirty Knee, I’m 33!

Welcome to a special issue of the Beardie Weirdie Blog!
Today, 20th February is my 33rd birthday!  One third of a century!  (save a few of months).  I started a tradition when I started working to never work on my birthday.  In that theme, I have taken a couple of days off to kick back at home with the wife and kids.  It’s half term in Bedfordshire this week, so it’s been pretty good timing.

The birthday will involve a lazy morning, featuring a lie in, and lots of tea and crumpets, somewhere tasty for lunch, then family visitors later on in the day.  Perfect!

The credit crunch is in full flow now, the initial flurry of donations have dried up.  I think some guerilla marketing might be in order……  More on that later on.

I had my first outing for work this week, and my good friend Oakers suggested that a suited and booted Beardie might make a good Kodak moment, so here it is!  This photo was taken by my lovely wife, Sam, on Tuesday night on my return from Camberley.

Swiftly moving along, this weeks Beard of the Week, suggested by my sister Nic, is Steve Cropper.  Famous to most for his roll in the Blues Brothers, but Steve Cropper is an incredible guitar player.  I’d recommend looking him up on You Tube.
