Chilly it has been. I mentioned that early frost just yesterday, and for the past few nights, I have been sleeping in a hoodie under the blanket. When I get up, on goes my thick sweater, which also has a hoodie. In fact, it is still on after 11, this Sunday morning as I write this. Oddly enough the temperature has gone up to 11C at 11AM. Not exactly hot.
About this sweater: when Sue came into the den yesterday to pour her coffee, she saw how much my grey and white sweater matched my grey and white beard. Once I confirmed this in the mirror, I decided that photos were in order.
In most guys or at least very many, the beard turns white early on. I had a friend whose beard went pretty grey around the age of 40. My friend, Bob, who is five years younger would make a good Santa if his beard were longer.
Here I am at 73, and the dark is still fighting the good fight, particularly in regions that you can't see very much in these photos.
But these are B&W photos...you could have on a red sweater! I want to see the real effect, in full living color. But then I don't get what I want much any more. It does look like a very nice sweater, with a pattern and all...probably very warm too.
ReplyDeleteHaha. The only thing that changed colour was my face, not the sweater or beard.
ReplyDeleteVery nice pictures. You are definitely a handsome fellow. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, isn't it, that men can have a lot of facial hair but very little hair on the scalp. Anyway, the sweater looks nice and warm.
ReplyDeleteYou are very color coordinated with your sweater. The last two men I've dated have been bearded. Both still have dark in their beards which I think adds a nice contrast. My ex, Henry, had a lot of dark in his beard, but pure white hair. I've always thought it went the other way.
ReplyDeleteG's beard is still mostly blond. There's a bit of white at the chin.
ReplyDeleteMy blond husband has gone grey too, I think.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting how much your grey and white sweater matches your grey and white beard. Nice photos!
ReplyDeleteYou have quite a wish list. Actually, you'll do as presented.
ReplyDeleteWe get what we get and then have to run with it unless we want to play with color!
ReplyDeleteI'm 69 and still no gray hair. Just genes. My parents took a long time to go gray, too. 70s as I recall, I think...so pretty soon. ;) I think you look quite dashing. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm always hot, like Sue! JB has an amazing number of hoodies and warm indoor cozies!
ReplyDeleteNice photos.
I agree with DJan. And I do love that meditative look on the second photo.
