So, this happened.
Conversation went a bit like this:
“so, last night, I was a bit tipsy and I got fed up with my beard, so I shaved it off, and then I figured I might as well continue upwards.”
I fell out of my chair when the video started, because the last time we Skyped his beard was super bushy, verging on wild, and all over the place :)
Another victim of isolation madness.
