NOVEMBER 7 - WIERD THINGS ARE HAPPENING

Yes, wierd things are afoot - today I ended up borrowing a shower-cap from my mum, so I can shower without my hair getting wet (and therefore too much dye coming out in the wash). I'm still keeping to my daily shower routine, but I was told that I should try to only wash my hair once a week, to keep the colour in. (That's a bit nasty, so I'm washing it once every 2 days!)
But even with a shower-cap on, I can't always keep the beard dry, as it touches my chest, and gets a little splashed. So the edges are getting a little blonde, and my roots are emerging rapidly...
The colour of this mass around my face is rapidly changing (I think it's looking cooler by the day!)
The highlight of my day was when a family came into the shop today, and their little son thought I was Father Christmas. I was hugely moved, and hugely grateful that he offered his whole week's pocket money of 50p as a donation to PRIMHE. When I remember how many sweets that 50p could buy when I was his age, it made me realise how much of a sacrifice he's made! Yes, I may have grown this beard for 3 months, and am keeping it magenta for another 2 (and therefore 5 months of no fun with girls), but, this young fella has denied himself a whole week's worth of sugar. And that is an effort that we all should applaud.
