Date Night
Last night Ky and I went on a date night. We’ve both been busy, particularly Ky, who has been on an aeroplane each of the past six weeks. We went to a jazz bar called Nocturne. It was perfect; adult, moody, with great drinks and musicians. We were comped a free dessert (and cocktail!) which…

Halloween
It’s the spookiest time of the year, Halloween, and tonight we went all out. It was a blast! It’s always fun, I think, to bundle costumes as a family. Last year we came as Ratatouille, with O being the Remy the rat, and Ky and I being Collette and Linguine. This year O wanted to…

1000
So, I finally cracked the 1000 day streak on DuoLingo. Now, the Owl is pretty forgiving, and allows up to two days missed in a row, so it hasn’t been exactly 1000 days, but I’d hazard a guess it’s under 1050. Has it worked? Sort of. I went to France and was able to order…

Brews!
In 1970, the Seattle Pilots, after a disastrous initial season, decided to move to Milwaulkee. The home of Miller (the champagne of beers!) and Pabst, and a rather small airport, the organisation renamed themselves the Milwaukee Brewers. In the 56 years since, they haven’t had much success. In 1982, they made their first, and only,…

Endless
In a week, the US midterms will begin. The Republicans are in for a reckoning; and deservedly so. High prices and a war in the Middle East are never going to be popular. Despite, or perhaps because of, this dynamic, local TV channels are showing endless ads celebrating candidates, or more frequently dissing their opponents.…

Birthday Party
Two weeks ago we had Octavia’s Birthday, but due to being out of town for the previous two weekends, we were unable to have a party. And a two-year old deserves a Birthday Party. Capitalised on purpose. In many ways, it was completely unremarkable. Ky baked a cake, I made some pulled pork. Aunty Dee…

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.
