Howdy doodie beard fans, and welcome to the last blog of July.
Well, when I write this, the poll on whether or not I should dye the beard is inconclusive - 50% yes, and 50% no. As is traditional with these 50%/50% situations, I tossed a coin - heads for yes, and tails for no. It turned out tails, so I won’t be dyeing the beard for now. Perhaps I’ll have another vote later on in the year.
Here’s the mug shot for the week - I’m wearing my lovely new hat that I got. The summer sun is so hot at the moment, I need the shade that it provides to avoid getting hot under the collar.
Hello there, and welcome to this weeks Beardie Weirdie blog!
In the interest of mixing it up, and keeping it real, I’m going to start with “Beard of the Week” this week! I know, I am living on the edge!
This week was suggested by my good mate Dan, and is “Macho Man” Randy Savage. And what a beard he has! There aren’t enough bearded athletes if you ask me. You can’t really see him too well here though - he’s camouflaged against an orange background, but here he is:

Well, the mid month lull in donations is upon us again, so nothing to report on that front. Here’s the latest photo of me. You’ll be please to see that I have not donned the Spandex for this one!
I have selected the first charity that I will be fundraising for - The Pasque Charity
The Pasque Charity provides specialist palliative care for adults and children with life-limiting conditions. Their mission is to provide the best quality of life for their patients and their families as they prepare for a dignified death.
Their multi-professional approach involves medical, nursing, social, spiritual and emotional care and is provided 24 hours-a-day, every day of the year. Care is free to all regardless of race, religion or culture.
The Pasque Charity operates two hospice services - The Pasque Adult Hospice and Keech Cottage Children’s Hospice. The hospice buildings are located together within beautiful countryside just north of Luton. They also run a children’s community nursing team who work with families in their own homes.
Operating the two hospice services will cost £5 million this year. As an independent charity, they rely on the generosity of the local community to raise 75% of this figure, so please dig deep for this worthy cause.
