Too busy reading to post anything of note…

Trying to keep it going, had some fun this morning on the way to school.  Wee man is not good with not being given the lead and being told something other than what he wanted so we started our school walk with sourpuss walking a wee bit back.  So as usually works I begin a distraction technique.

I began with loudly, so wee man could hear, asking Girly Girl if she could hear the grunts of the ‘lesser spotted grumpy bum’ easily recognised by the loud stamping of feet and intermittent hmphing noises that could be heard. This worked a treat and a couple of minutes later I started to ask did she now recognise the ‘lesser spotted laughy bottom’ again could be known for similar markings but very different call of laughing not hmphing.  Then shortly afterwards we met some school friends and another opportunity to spot the ‘greater breasted showy off’ again very similar markings but this one has more arm movement and dances a bit more while still laughing.  The final one I mentioned I sometimes see is the ‘red faced nippy knickers’ I did say to girly girl I hadn’t seen one of them in a while but she easily guessed the anology. So much fun they d all the way to school and were still talking about it at the dinner table with Yve.

Standards have been slipping…or is it just human nature to be inconsistent sometimes. I was doing quite well keeping up to date every night but then a busy weekend hits and it all goes to pot!!

Does anyone remember the programme with Grizzly Adams?or Big Foot and the Hendersons? These programmes are what came to mind when I saw this picture.

I have noticed that my face feels kind of weird…no really, I wonder why, I hear you cry!! What I mean is when I rub my face on a collar of a jacket for example or even just rub my hands over my face lightly, which I appear to be doing a lot more than I used to, it is almost fluffy and detached from my actual face, very strange, well it would be I have never been like this before, very intriguing.

For the record, despite wise cracks about growing it longer till Christmas so that I can look the part and other more encouraging “I really like it” comments, it will be coming off on December 1st without fail, it just isn’t me and it certainly ain’t growing on me, if you’ll pardon the expression. Furthermore the missus doesn’t like the facial hair thing, so for all those reasons, mainly I don’t like it and neither does my beautiful wife it comes off after Movember. Sorry to disappoint!!

Deep in thought or just scratching the surface…

To be honest I really didn’t want to post tonight, sore stomach tired stressed day just tired really.  Did some work on the website bit of updating getting frustrated with it some of the formatting appears a bit messed up in places, can’t decide whether that is the template or something in the scripting. I will look at it again another day, for now it has been brightened up and sharpened with some updates and as a work in progress it shall remain.

Nothing has changed in the facial hair dept, used wee mans hair brush as I felt it was a bit unruly, there isn’t enough to be unruly but I just felt that it was.

Well I did say I was heading to the barbers today, that was an experience.  Gents Lounge in Paisley I have been going there ever since coming back up to Paisley needed somewhere to go, spotted a good friend in there and decided if it is good enough for them then it is good enough for me, and so it has been.

This is quite a bright picture is it not, it makes me laugh when I see it as looking in the mirror I thought I have more hair on my chin than I do on my head now and I am not referring to the balding patch on my crown!!  Glen did trim the beard a little took those annoying little bits from the very corner of my mouth, appears to have left the bulk of the length and just tidied up under the jowls and sideburns, so we soldier on, very apt considering today, thank you to those men and women past and present who helped deliver the relative democracy and freedom we so take for granted today…

This is the kind of face wee man makes when he’s not happy about something you’ve said or made him do, in fact girly girl does it as well usually in response to again not happy with the response you just gave. Me I’m just having some fun.

Look closely at the picture for tomorrow will be very different, heading to the barbers tomorrow, no not shaving it off but more than likely will get a tidy and a trim, to make it look less like I haven’t just bothered not to shave and more like I am actually trying to cultivate something here.  Funny since I am doing about as well with this as I do in the garden!!

Ok so before anybody makes a wise crack about alcohol, no I haven’t touched a drop not in weeks. It was possibly inspired by a drunken look , but not directly. I have to make a face or you won’t see any facial hair as I can tell you it has been left rampant for over a week now, little to show for it I know but I can’t make want don’t grow in this month of MoBro!!

I suppose you could call this my Bah Humbug face, don’t really have any reason to be making the face, certainly not that upset about anything especially not Christmas, guess I am just trying to be different bit of variety.  Before the month is out I can have as many faces as there are emoticons…could be my next challenge, eh.

I have noticed either consciously or subconsciously that I have been stroking my face a lot more, not the noticing but the stroking is either conscious or subconscious, of course.  It’s weird and strange since I am now over a week not shaving and I am noticing all sorts of things, the feel of it, the way my jowls feel scratchy when I bend my head down, the look in the mirror, the colour of the hair itself, the patches where it grows more vigorously than others, why it does that, do I like the look, does anyone else…and so I go on strange experience but then I think I am only doing it for Movember and then we’re done.  I do also have days where I argue with myself that since I am not following strictly the Movember rules as laid down nor getting sponsor money, what is to stop me just shaving it off???!!!

Pride, commitment, integrity, self belief, self discovery, the challenge, the reason for even entering into this, loads of things some intrinsic to me others bolted on for a season, will pass as the blade does over the features soon to be erased as will their meaning, the others are carved and etched into the very core of my being noted in the wrinkles and lines on my face and sought from deep within my eyes, never passing always present.

The jury is out from me personally on the features growing out not my chin, time will tell or perhaps it will only solidify what I already feel!?
