Top of the morning to ya, and welcome to this weeks instalment of the Beardie Weirdie Blog!
Firstly, I’ve reached to 60% mark in the fund-raising stakes. Many thanks to my Mum, Rose, for her unrelenting support.
I was doing some research today for something interesting to say on beards. This is the first thing I found on Google, and it’s brilliant!
Well, once you’ve recovered from that, moving on to this weeks photo my beardie progress. This week, I’ve gone for a profile shot. I don’t have a guitar growing out of my beard, oh no, that’s my daughters guitar, that I like to have a plink about with on occasion.

This weeks Beard of the Week was inspired by me watching TV on Thursday night. Not that he’s currently sporting a beard, Frankie Boyle did a stint recently as a beardie, and a very nice ginger example it is too.
Today is Friday 13th! Luckily I don’t suffer from paraskavedekatriaphobia. That’s the fear of Friday 13th. Though for those of you that do, watch out for cracks in the pavement, black cats, and walking under ladders!
It’s been a quiet week in beard land this week. With the credit crunch in full swing, I guess people are watching the pennies a bit more closely.
I’m a bit nervous about next week. I am generally office based, but I’ve got an out and about day to see a customer. First bearded outing! Will probably scruff up OK - I’m sure I won’t be the first ever bearded bloke to don a suit and tie!
Here’s the latest photograph, taken on Thursday (12th Feb). I’m all dressing gowned up this week. I’ve been poorly this week - I’ve had a nasty ear infection that has kind of knocked me for six.

Moving on to this weeks “Beard Of The Week” (BOTW),my mate Oakers is convinced that I’ll end up like one of these guys - ZZ Top! I am less convinced! Curiously, the drummer from the band, Frank Beard, is the only one without a massive beard. Strange, huh!?!

It’s been a cold, snowy, wintery week this week. I had a snow day on Monday, and spent the day playing in the snow with the family. I managed to make it into my office for the rest of the week. The drive in on Thursday was particulary dodgy. Going anywhere near the go or stop pedal made the car go kind of sideways.
Snowy hooligan!
The fundraising is still going well. Chris has gone for a “pay as you grow” scheme, and my good friend Oakers has dug deep too.
Here’s the current mug shot taken Thursday night:

Beardie has had quite a busy week this week. I had a day off work on Thursday to help my friends Benj and Toni to move house. I’m sure they’ll be really happy in their new home, just as soon as they’ve unpacked.
The fundraising has taken a good turn, thanks to a very generous donation from Stash. Don’t be shy - you can easily chip in by clicking here.
