    I was successful in the recent Champions League Ballot, which was a bit of a thrill. Sadly, I won’t be able to make it. If you, or someone you know, would like a single ticket to Newcastle v Barcelona next Tuesday, let me know. You have 22 hours until my ballot window closes, and they…

  • Change of direction

    The last six months or so Ky and I have been grinding French on DuoLingo. It is fair to say our heart hasn’t really been in it. So last night, we decided to pivot to Portuguese. Why, or por que, you may ask? Great question, and the answer is that for us, right now, it…

  • Tap the sign

    I recently made a meme, so without any further ado, Look upon my works, ye mighty and despair: I think it will be in semi-frequent rotation in the coming months, and was inspired by the recent missile strikes in Iran. A more fun way of saying “two things can be true at once”, it is…

  • Depth v Breadth

    Ky and I were discussing drug legalisation the other day, and it was quite an interesting conversation. Colorado has fully legalised marijuana, and I think decriminalised psilocybin, better known as magic mushrooms. This means that where we live, you can go to your nearest dispensary (which there are PLENTY of), pick up a joint, and…

  • Did you know?

    That you can go skiing in Argentina? I didn’t until today, but it makes sense. They have the mountains from the Andes, they have the latitude, they have Patagonia, and perhaps most importantly, they have a deeply European culture that would clearly love skiing. Is it the best snow in the world? According to my…

  • Soft Launch

    Like many people, I have often read a lot less of the Classics than I would have liked to. Some of that is due to lack of time, some of it is due to other priorities and distractions taking precedence. But one reason is that a lot of the Western Traditions most famous works can…

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.
