Movember Day Thirty
Well, all good things must come to an end, and so must Gwyn Headley’s moustache, grown throughout November for charitable purposes.
I did it to raise funds for Movember, supporting research into prostate and testicular cancer. With the kind support of all my donors, we have raised £700. Which, considering I never thought I had a chance of growing a moustache, surprises even me.
So I would like to thank everyone who contributed so generously. Here’s the Roll of Honour:

Thank you all, most sincerely.
The final result? Well, it’s staying on to frighten a few people at the Groucho Choir practice and the Society of Bookmen Quiz Night next week. Then on Friday December 7th, off it comes. And not a moment too soon. I don’t like it, and it doesn’t suit me. It’s appalling if you have a cold and runny nose, which I do. Ach-y-fi, as we say. This is the end result:

Well I don’t think it looks that bad, really. You know I’m not known for being kind so… How much did you raise?
Are you now enjoying life again without the facial hair?

Pilch, being a publisher you’ll only have looked at the pictures and won’t have read anything in this blog so s l o w l y n o w ——
“With the kind support of all my donors, we have raised £700. ”
And I sent you a special thank you but got an out-of-office auto reply!
“Don’t know much about the Middle Ages
Looked at the pictures and I turned the pages
But I do know that I Love You
And I know that if you loved me too
What a wonderful world this would be!”
