Bin back
I called the council today to sort out our stolen bin. It went as well as I would have expected. The good: The council is really good at the things that don’t matter. They have a call back service, so I didn’t have to wait two hours on hold. The lady who served me, Alice,…

Independent FC
The World Cup starts today. Unlike most Americans (58% say they won’t watch a single game), I’m excited. It should be a great tournament, but I think it could be better. With 48 teams in this year’s event, expect some dour games. Haiti v Cape Verde is unlikely to make the highlight reel, nor fill…

Frequent Flying
It’s ships in the night right now in the Wetherall-Jones Household. Ky is away in Dallas for a conference and gets back tonight. I am writing this as I fly over the CO-UT border, en route to San Francisco. Flying for work might be unglamorous, but after you’ve done it a few times, you know…

Thief!
We were recently the victim of a brazen, and as yet unsolved, crime. Don’t worry, we’re safe and secure, but we are one bin short. That’s right, someone has stolen our rubbish bin. Not only did the thieves take the bin, they also pulled out all the rubbish within it, and dumped it at the…

Worth the wait
One of the activities the British are renowned for is queuing in lines. Despite being a citizen of the kingdom, I can’t say I share the joy. Sadly, in some instances there is no escaping it. This morning, Newcastle United released their season ticket waitlist. No surprises here, but I’m at the back; position 38424…

Relative
Brian Cox, the British physicist and television presenter, taught me something interesting today. Not in person, sadly, but broadcast into my ears while doing the washing up. Have you ever wondered whether you, an adult human, were closer in relative size to the biggest thing in the universe, or the smallest? I’ll tell you tomorrow,…

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.
