  • The future is here

    Airplane WiFi has been a thing for a while. It’s super slow, often expensive, and frequently drops out. Overall, a dastardly experience. But today, while on a United flight to DC, I was rather pleased to see they had partnered with StarLink, Elon Musk’s company. I was happy for two reasons. 1, we have had…

  • Postman Plus

    I went to the Post Office today to, surprise, post a package and make a photocopy of my passport. It was a terrible experience. The Post Office is an important service, and I don’t want it to be cancelled. But the culture and customer service there are bottom tier, and they were entirely unhelpful and…

  • Tender

    One of my favourite cuts of beef is the short rib. When cooked low and slow, it’s delicious, unctuous, and fall apart tender. Unfortunately, my own short ribs got battered the other day at football, and even after 4 days, are still tender as hell. Would not recommend

  • Letter in the mail

    You don’t need to send out paper invitations to weddings. These days, it’s probably easier for all involved to just have everything organised by a website and email. But having received one in my letter box today I can say one thing: They’re nice.

  • Bit and Bytes

    So I have been gooning over our latest fiber internet connection, and the speed upgrade we have been recently enjoying. However, while doing a bit of troubleshooting on our Wifi Extender, I realised that the industry had been playing a trick on me for the past 20 years. The first thing you will learn about…

  • Casa Bonita

    This evening, we went to a rather unusual place for dinner, Casa Bonita. It’s a themed Mexican restaurant, and when I mean themed, I mean it’s a mini Disney World, but Mexican styled. Firstly, the place is huge. 52000 square feet, and enough seats to fit over 1000 people a day. They had people diving…

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.
