Listening to the ABC
While driving to the airport to pick up my wife, I took the opportunity to listen to 774 ABC. For my American readers, the ABC is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, the local equivalent to the BBC. This morning, the topic was the recent controversy of last night’s AFL game. Plenty of view points were thrown…

Exhausted
That’s me right now. Three nights this week have involved 2am meetings, and whether it was setting the alarm or staying up late, it’s been tough. I’m glad to get over that hump, and very happy that my last meeting (just finished then) is over for the week. Who knew my 3AMs on a Friday…

Four Seasons in One Day
When it comes to Melbourne’s weather, it’s a cliche, but it certainly is true. Having spent 18 months in a climate where the options are sunshine, more sunshine, or snowstorm, I can as legitimately shocked when there was a 15 minute rain shower this afternoon. I felt like a right lemon standing under an awning,…

Is the world getting more dangerous?
It certainly sometimes feels that way. In the last 72 hours, there has been two violent mass stabbings in Sydney, and we have seen the situation in the Middle East ramp up tensions another notch. The Russia-Ukraine war is three weeks away from hitting the 800 day mark, and the US continues to pile troops…

Ton up
This blog has now, officially, hit the the 100+ posts. It hasn’t always been easy. There have been some shockers along the way, particularly Phoenix (“It’s not what you would expect”), but overall this little project has been an important part of my daily routine. When I started it, I had a few goals, including…

The beauty of the bed.
I’m spent. The last three nights have been either sleeping on an airplane, or on a thin bunkbed at the Airbnb after too many beers and with music in the background. It sure is nice to be in a bed tonight.

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.
