Sweeter, won
There is a quote from one of the classic movies of the early 20th century: “Money won is sweeter than money earned”. And while our family didn’t win any money recently, what we did win was a little cat toy from a claw machine. It took a few goes, and we could have ordered one…

Hen’s Do
My sister is currently on her Hen’s Do back in Australia. I just finished up running her quiz. Fingers crossed, I hope it was a success, minus a hiccup halfway through. Running a quiz from seven timezones away isn’t easy, but thanks to Claude, completely possible. We had a few rounds, and while the internet…

Embarrassing
About 10 years ago, a company called MasterClass started becoming popular. It was essentially elevated YouTube aimed at helping people improve their skills in particular domains. Instead of watching some scratchy 720p video filmed on an iPhone by WokGod380 teaching you how to make a Pad Thai, you could have Gordon Ramsay in 4k teach…

Trout
The humble trout is an underrated fish. It’s affordable, easy to cook, versatile, and tasty. Highly recommend it, particularly with a fresh salad and capers.

Second City?
What is the second city in your country? It’s a super interesting question to think about. Some countries have a very small gap between the first and second city; places like Australia (Sydney and Melbourne), Russia (Moscow and St Petersburg) and China (Beijing and Shanghai). Others are enormous; what is France’s second city? Marseille? Lyon?…

Back in the pocket
For about a month, I have been missing my wallet. I had only two clues to work with regarding it’s whereabouts: So I knew it was most likely in the house, and courtesy of my young daughter and low conscientious personality, that meant that I would be searching through a proverbial haystack of toys strewn…

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.
