Well, we’re almost at the halfway point in Movember, Thursday is the official midpoint so she’s all downhill from then on in. Started the shaping on Sunday night, looking a bit rough still…but it’s a journey! People asked why I waited that long before I shaved off the beard, simple I answered. If you want a slice of chocolate cake, you don’t bake a slice, you bake a cake then cut out the slice…I transferred this train of thought to my facial hair gardening. The other reason I waited was I spend five days hunting in the Kaimaniwas with three mates. I took in the Weatherby but unfortunately didn’t connect with anything, the only deer I saw was across the river, and the only weapon I had was a fly rod…not really suitable for a Sika deer. North Island hunting is a bit different to South Island, I’m used to open tops and high mountains, North Island is all about bush…without my GPS I reckon I’d still be trying to find my way out of there! Have added a level action .44 Magnum rifle to my wish list, far better suited to tight bush conditions. Xmas is coming so we’ll see how we go in that department.
