Movember - The Pre-Mo

Against my better judgement I have been cajoled into forming an office team for Movember. For the uninitiated, Movember is an annual event whereby men refrain from shaving their 'taches for the whole of November. The idea being to raise money for Prostate and Testicular Cancer charity. So, a good cause that I felt I needed to make the effort for.

Here we are on October 31st, Mo-Eve so to speak, and I am already looking forward to December 1st when I will be able to remove the monstrosity that will have, by then, taken over my top lip.
It is with deep regret that I have to say this won't be my first upper-lip furniture. I am old enough to have been around in the 80s, when many a foolish youngster thought it quite cool to have a moustache. There is photographic evidence of this, but I tend to keep them hidden (having said that, at least one turned up on FB thanks to a 'friend').
This morning my wife came up with the idea of keeping a blog throughout the process. The reaction of our (almost) 3 year-old daughter may be quite interesting. Her normal response to me, even after only 1 day of not shaving, is 'Daddy, you are scratchy!'. I wonder what she will make of the cumulative effects of 30 days razor-free?

So, here we go. Trimming only for the next 30 days.
