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,…

People’s Front of Jefferson Park
What a day! Bookended with a trip to the zoo in the morning, and dinner at the fish and chip shop, was the Jefferson Park Neighbourhood Party, named after the suburb we live in. They had a band, a DJ who has a VERY easy job, and a few stalls. My personal favourite(s!) were the…

In demand
I have never been to Hell’s Kitchen; either the restaurant or the suburb in New York. When I think of the latter, I always conjure up images of rough, tough games of basketball, played with a metal chain hanging from the hoop. Put simply, I think of New York as a basketball city. But what…

Tragedeigh
There is a famous subreddit called Tragedeigh, which focuses on “unique” names, especially those with “untraditional” spellings. If you have ever come across a Jaxon, a Raefarty (apparently Rafferty), or a Horcruxe in your life, this is your place to post. Even if you don’t follow the page, you’ll have certainly experienced the cringe that…

Feedback
We get a meat box from our local butcher, which is usually really good. For $100, it covers a lot of our protein needs for the fortnight. Sadly, this week just wasn’t it. The steak we had today was underwhelming, and we received half the chicken breasts we usually do. I wrote them a short…

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.
