Halfway house!

Welcome to this weeks Beardie Blog!

This weeks sees the half way point in my bearded adventure.  On today, Friday 3rd of July it’s 184 days = 4416 hours = 264,960 minutes = 15,897,600 seconds since I last shaved on 31st December 2008.  That’s a lot of numbers - praise be for Excel!

With the greatly appreciated donation from Oakers, I’m currently 55% towards my fund-raising target of £500 for the Pasque Charity.  With your support, I’m confident that we can get the desperately needed funds to this very good cause.

Moving on then, it’s been hot this week.  Very hot.  When I left my office on Tuesday evening, the thermostat thing in the car reckoned it was 37°C.  Granted, our car park is a bit of a sun trap, but I’m surprised that my car tyres haven’t melted!  Luckily, the beard isn’t too bad in the heat, although it’s definitely more challenging to apply sun cream.

I’m sure you’re busting to find out what six months of beard growth looks like, so here goes:

6 months of beard!

This weeks Beard of the Week is none other than Captain Birdseye.  Not the new fangled one, not the short lived young and hip Captain Birdseye, but the original one - from when I was a nipper.  John Hewer played, in my opinion, the best Captain Birdseye, so here he is:
