Experiment over

Last beard picture from last night




And this morning, it's gone. I was quite pleased how it looked but couldn't stand the feeling any longer.




To borrow a quote from Commander Riker in Star Trek Insurrection - "Smooth as an androids bottom eh".

Beardy update

Getting bored with it now. What does everyone think - keep or shave?

Not bad progress today I think. Looks better/worse depending on the light. :-)

Not Shaving

I don't think a day has gone by since around 2003 that I haven't shaved.

Prior to that I had many embarrassing attempts at beards and I had resolved never to try and grow one again, especially as Louise absolutely hated them.

However, on Friday night while watching Children in Need, Louise commented that she thought the rugged unshaven look sported by Gary, Jason and Howard from Take That was quite appealing.

So I figured I would try not shaving for a week or so and see how it turn out these days. This is how the growth looks right now after two days. Comments welcome. :-)

A better image of the Eldon Square Pencils

Thanks to Debbie Heath for telling me about this.  No grown ups sitting on them in this pic I am pleased to say! :-)

Congratulations Louise

Huge congratulations to my lovely wife Louise tonight. She has just been named Slimming World "Woman of the Year" for the Stanley Group.

She has lost an amazing 3 and a half stone and I am incredibly proud of her.
