Beardlessness.

[whatho]

My brother sends me photos from his trips to the Great Wall and all I can say is 'OH GODS YOUR BEARD. Where did your beard go? What happened to your BEARD?'

He shaved it off because it was too warm and he plans to regrow it in the winter. This is a perfectly sensible course of action. But his beardlessness completely weirds me out and I hope he grows it again soon or at least colours one in on the photographs. It was a great beard. He modelled it on the one Spock wears in 'Mirror, Mirror'.

He might stay the whole year now. Technically that's the right thing to do. Mumble, mumble. He'd like to see the New Year celebrations anyway. He doesn't particularly want to be there for the sandstorms, but I think they sound rather jolly. The shops sell full-face visors especially for the season.

Oh is a good reaction. Mother and I are both pretending to be pleased about it and saying how good it'll look on his CV and how he'll feel better about himself if he stays the whole year and then we scowl quietly. Basically, whatever he plans to do, I seem to want him to do the other thing.

On the plus side, I was watching QI and it had people on it who sometimes turn up on ISIHAC and I had to jump up into the air slightly with glee. FOUR DAYS.
