Hallow-weiner! 1 comment

Hello, and welcome to this weeks spookey Halloween Blog!

We’ve been away on holiday to Derbyshire this last week, so our Halloween festivities have been limited.  We popped up the local super-market to pick up a pumpkin, but alas they were sold out, and the kids didn’t really fancy the idea of carving a turnip.  We did pick up some sweeties to dish out to the local trick-or-treaters.

I’m not quite sure how it happened, but we decided as a family to do some Halloween face painting, and I got the full treatment from my 10 year old daughter, Erin.  She’s also credited with taking this weeks photo:

This weeks “Beard of the Week” was chosen by Erin, and is the Flying Dutchman from Spongebob Squarepants

Welcome along to this weeks Beardie Weirdie Blog!

I used to wear a ponytail in my hair when I were a lad.  From about 15 to up until about 19, I had hair halfway down my back, and more often than not wore it in a ponytail.  I’m now at the stage where I can tie my beard in a ponytail.

Here’s the evidence:

This weeks “Beard of the Week” was inspired by my beard ponytail, and is “Captain” Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp.

Hello there, and welcome to another bearded blog.

Big thanks this week to Oakers from Navan in Ireland for this weeks lovely donation.  It’s really easy to part with your hard earned, just click here!

I stumble across this today, it’s more facial hair related than specifically beard related, but I liked it anyway, and thought I’d share it with you - the Moustache Mug!  They ought to launch a Beard Mug - they could market it as the Bearded Brew.

Speaking of mugs, here’s a photo of mine this week.  Taken by my 10 year old daughter, Erin.  I was in the midst of knocking up a batch of lovely winter warmer soup.  My apron was a gift from my brother-in-law, Adam Marek, he’s a very talented author.  Check out his website here.

This week’s Beard of the Week was suggested by a couple of friends of mine - Chris and Glenda.  Seen on Wednesday night against Belarus, is of footballer David Beckham, this week sporting an almost full set!  This photo was nabbed of the Telegraph website, and they’re suggesting that it’s the “World’s Worst Beard“.

Hello, and welcome to this weeks Beardie Weirdie blog :)

It’s been a funny old week - cold in the main - the heating is most definitely on at home and in the office.  It won’t be long before we’re scraping the ice of the cars in the morning.  I’m hoping that the beard will keep me warm this winter!  If you want to feel the warmth of the beard, without growing one yourself, then head over to www.beardhead.com.  You could get a full set, like this one:

If you’re more into real beard - this is what my one currently looks like:

This weeks Beard of the Week was suggested by my good friend Ysanne, and is none other than George Clooney.  In this picture, he kind of reminds me of Dragon, James Caan - probably just me though!

Hello there readers, and welcome to this weeks bearded installment.

I’ve been pondering of late how to end the bearded year of mine.  I’m planning on shaving on 01/01/2010, maybe at a minute past midnight on New Years Eve, depending on where we are.  My current thoughts are that I want to keep the neck beard, and look a bit like this chap:

Moving on, big thanks to Stash and Chris for this weeks donations.  As time goes on, we’re getting closer and closer to reaching the £500 target that I have set.

Here’s an update of my photo.  Taken in classy black and white on my camera phone.  My phone isn’t up to much, and the colours were properly messed up, so I though grey scale was the way forward this week.  This photo was taken by me, this lunch time, in my office in Bedford.
