Life is slowly returning to normal. As normal as it can be.
I've started back at the gym and did my first day yesterday. I lasted about 16 minutes before my body told me that it was not impressed with me. So i'm going to go and do a little every day rather than shock it into pulled muscles and aches.
Hair update.. it's crazy. There's a lot of it now but it's still a little downy at the sides so we don't know what colour it will eventually settle on. I've ordered sandy blonde. A little like the Thom Browne guy's. The beard is coming on leaps and bounds and this leads me to the reason for today's post.......
Some of you will remember my embarrassing attempt at Movember last year. Movember is a charity event held each year where guys grow a moustache for the month and raise money for charity. Now.. here's the rather poignant thing. I did this last year as a bit of fun and raised a rather respectable £660.
It was just a bit of fun for charity and I didn't take it too seriously.
The funny/tragic/horrid twist of fate thing is that the charities that Movember supports are men's cancer charities; ie prostate and testicular cancer charities. Cue sudden realisation of how difficult this is now to recall. Now, given I couldn't even grow a nostril hair a couple of months ago, i'm hoping to turn that around.
I'lll be updating my progress regularly and if growth allows I may even try a bit a curl... You don't have to donate now, you can see how I do, you obviously don't have to donate at all. But i'll probably start hounding you if you don't.

Hi Chris - Fiona gave me the address of your blog and I am in the process of reading it from finish to start (I didn't quite get the chronology at first!) I don't know when you'll be back at work, or whether you're keen to speak to anyone from work yet, but when you are let me know as I am up for being a lunch buddy, or first return to LEx buddy if required. Kate (Cook) xx
