During the war…

Welcome to this weeks instalment of the Beardie Weirdie Blog!

Well, today, 6th March is the 66th day of 2009.  So far, I’ve raised over £1 per day for charity.  I’m hoping to ultimately pass a pound per day, but am pleased with the progress so far.  This weeks donations are from Chris, and from my lovely wife, so a big, big thank you to you both.

Exciting news today, I’ve discovered a chappy across the pond in Cleveland who’s also doing a Year of the Beard.  I’ve had a read through his blog, and he sounds like a good bloke!  He must be - he gives me a mention!

Well, my beard is growing well.  The moustache is already starting to get quite annoying, it’s crawling over my top lip, so I’m going to have to give it some serious training.  I’m a good way off being able to plait it to keep it out of the way!

Here’s the current mug shot, taken on Thursday evening.
