  • Zimmer

    Two nights ago we went to The World of Hans Zimmer, which was a real treat, and very affordable! Hans Zimmer is like Michael Schumacher, Tiger Woods, or Pablo Picasso; people so famous within their domain that even if you couldn’t name a single other practitioner, you could name them. The cool thing about Hans…

  • Park time

    I was going to write about our date night last night w Herr Zimmer, but it’s late and I want to do it justice. Instead, I thought the highlight of today was going to the park with Occi, and seeing her enjoy the playset. She is getting so, so much more confident and capable. It’s…

  • Zimmer

    Ky and I are off on date night. After a recommendation from a friend, and a bit of luck, we are off to see Hans Zimmer at Ball Arena. I’m looking forward to it!

  • Surprised!

    We had friends round tonight for a surprise party. They recently got engaged, and Ky and I are thrilled for them. Sadly, we couldn’t make it to their Boston engagement party, but now that they’re back in the centennial state, we wanted to do something to celebrate. It was the perfect example of casual dinner…

  • MASSIVE WIN TODAY: The Sequel

    Many years ago, in a moment of distraction, I sent out a team-wide email that hadn’t been properly checked. For those that were there, it went down in Kiwibank folklore. For those who weren’t, a quick summary can be found HERE. Well, today I want to add a second one to the list. It was…

  • Marginal improvement

    I have been slowly getting back into running recently, and today was the first time I felt a proper improvement. It was faster, less painful, and I feel recovered already. Progress is progress.

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.
