Is This It?

Movember

For any regular readers I may have left, the month of November in Australia, is renamed Movember. The challenge is for guys to grow as mean a mo (moustache) as he can from the 1st of the month till the last - bonus points.

So this is what I have been doing effectively avoiding part of face with my razor for 1month... although at the time of writing I still have several days to endure. Odd looks out on the street are something I've gotten used to (having a moustache; you kids at the back!), the fact that I service 3 different clients a day also means I have everyone keen to see how the growth is coming along on each visit... and it is kinda difficult to stay motivated about it... even when I get some really great compliments; "Dirty lookin South American, Yosemite Sam, Gomez Adams, The Pool Cleaner" to name a few... though "Sexy Pirate" would be my personal favourite :P (The inset picture is pretty much at the half way stage of the month)

So in a month where I set out to concentrate upon the upcoming task of travelling once again (3months and counting as of the start of November), I quite hopelessly failed to keep things low-key. Aaron turned the golden (and I'd have to say best to be) age of 28, and it seemed many others shared birthdays around this time too... it's like an early extension of the Christmas party season.

I managed to visit a bunch of new eateries and drinkeries, not to mention go on a tour of Sydneys Rocks - with a ghost theme. Yet I've not managed to frequent a single gig this month...

My beach volleyball career stretched a little further with my first full competetive games resulting in straight back to back victories - even with a hangover, much better than my soccer performances which continue to be goal-less.

I've made some pretty important directional decisions too this month, with a couple of new projects I'm planning to bust out in the new year.

I'll probably end up adding to this post as the week rolls on as I remember to re-collect other things which don't leap to the forefront of my mind right now
