As most of you know by now, Movember is an annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men.

Philip Patston is certainly doing his part to raise awareness.

Now help him raise the dough.

“Movember is an annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men. Mo Bros, supported by their Mo Sistas, start Movember (November 1st) clean shaven and then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache. During Movember, each Mo Bro effectively becomes a walking billboard for men’s health and, via their Mo, raises essential funds and awareness.”

Hats off to the bees

by Philip Patston

 

Usually I wear a lot of hats, all at once. Luckily they are metaphorical, otherwise I’d look a bit odd. But it takes a bit of doing and I often need to change the order in which they are piled on my head mid-way through an event. It’s an art in itself really, changing hats in a fluid, discreet way: part modelling, part juggling, part brain gym. Vaguely discombobulating but strangely gratifying. Try it.
