  • Preseason

    In a couple of weeks, the NFL kicks off. I don’t mind watching the last quarter on a Sunday, huddled up while the snow falls. Honestly, I quite like it. But at ~$300 a ticket, I can’t see myself going to a game anytime soon. The exception is preseason, where tickets are 90% off. Graham,…

  • Traffic

    This evening, the whole family went off to absolute whoop whoop to get some snaps. It was almost a three hour expedition. Leaving at 5:30 on a Friday night was probably not the smartest idea. What should have taken us 20 minutes took us closer to 50, and man, it was terrible. I have been…

  • Date night

    Tonight, Ky and I claimed our date night dinner voucher (thanks Liv) and went to a cooking class. Honestly, it was a lot better than I had expected. The theme was Argentinian, which apparently includes a giant wheel of fried cheese, but this time with chimmichurri! Ay caramba! That said, we had a blast. The…

  • Credit

    We have some airline credit from a cancelled trip. It is a curse in disguise. It’s enough that we can go to a lot of places, but not to a lot of places we WANT to go to (for example, back to Aus/NZ). It is also too much that if we were to NOT use…

  • Gone

    Skype was one of the first technology companies I used which felt like magic. Calling people with clear audio and video, for just a few cents a minute, wherever they may be in the world. This was at a time where people were still going wild over 10 cent texts. It’s now gone. And not…

  • Reunion

    On Saturday, I attended my 15 year school reunion. I’m glad I went. There are quite a few people I have kept in touch with since finishing up at Corio, but quite a lot of the people I hadn’t seen since year 12. Fortunately, most people looked exactly like they did last time I saw…

Why I started this blog

I don’t really use Social Media anymore; I’m too young for Facebook, too old for SnapChat, too normie for Discord and too boring for Instagram. While this buys me back time and peace of mind, it means that it can sometimes be difficult to share my life with my friends and family outside of phone calls and in-person meetups. As I live overseas, this can be a difficulty.

With this in mind, and inspired my friend Dan Cullum (check out his fantastic site HERE), I have started a daily blog. Not only will I be able to share my ideas, news, and stories to friends and family, but it serves as a time capsule as I move through life. In the future, I look forward to seeing how my views, opinions, and ideas change over time. At the very least, it is an exercise in discipline, and may be of interest to my descendants at some time in the future.

While I imagine most followers of this blog will be friends and family, all are welcome to subscribe. Feel free to email at harry@harrywetherall.com, I reply to every message, and would love to hear from you.
