I decided to use the time to grow a beard.
In my mind it would possibly look like the beards of the Czar and his cousin the King when they were photographed together prior to the First World War.
I have never had one before, just a daily smudge of rough shadow that appears each afternoon, and a few days stubble most weekends.
Prior to now I hadn't considered letting a beard grow. The scruffy period before it would be fully formed would look like neglect, and that just wouldn't do.
After 3 weeks my beard is quite full, spiky, dark in parts and streaked with grey. It doesn’t look like I had imagined, rather I am a slightly wolfish version of myself.
I’ve checked it from a few angles and I think it would look acceptable in public. Having said that, I’m not entirely convinced so I don’t think it will last.
