The Movember Chronicles - A Study in Facial Hilarity

Never again! Through the month of November I have been sporting an increasingly ridiculous moustache as part of the Movember Campaign to raise cash to men’s cancer charities. The experience has been chastening as the following sequence of photos will prove:

 End of week one and the fuzz is taking shape.

 Eleven days in and I am getting nervous (as are people at home in the office)

Yee gads - twenty days in and I am smiling about it.  Good job because someone has to.

 Twenty three days in and I am really not taking things that seriously. The 50’s bank manager look is really taking shape.

It’s getting towards the end of the month and the misery is really setting in. Twenty seven days of weird looks, astonished glances and frankly, out and out hilarity at the sight of the mo.

And the joy at the realization that Movember is over. Tomorrow is a clean shaven day, smoothness returns.

But overall was it worth it? Yes because just on £500 was raised personally and the Hotwire Mo Crew raised more than a £1000 overall. Will I do it next year? Well at the ‘Mo’ment, no -- but give it 11 months and let’s see.
