Crowd pleaser
We went to ANOTHER 1st birthday party this afternoon. It’s not that I’m complaining, I actually quite enjoy them, and today’s edition was top notch. Feeding a crowd is difficult, so picking the right dishes is crucial. These guys nailed it by going with the Texas style pulled pork. Pork in the US is absurdly…

Granny
Tonight was the AFL grand final, and spoiler alert, well done Brisbane. I’m writing this at 2:12 in the morning, after what was a fun albeit lopsided game. Despite both teams entering into half time at 34 all, the first time two teams have been even Stevens since 1909, the Lions stormed home to win…

Obsidian League
I have been really getting back into my Duolingo, and am now in the second highest league, the Obsidian league. For those who aren’t language-MAXXXING, DuoLingo gamifies the experience by allowing you to earn XP points, and each week you compete against others for who can earn the most. Finish in the top 5? Get…

Gifted?
I saw a post on X recently about how 99% of people who say that the equivalent of “I was a gifted kid but now I’m burnt out” is “I could have gone pro had it not been for The InjuryTM.” It had me thinking. Perhaps I didn’t grow up thinking I was a genius,…

Rainy day
It was POURING today, something that doesn’t happen very often. It caught me completely off guard When you’re not used to it, and perhaps even when you are, it slows everything down. Traffic moves slower. Picking the right clothes takes longer. Things need to be dried or covered. Autumn has arrived.

A business idea, for anyone who wants it
You can buy most things in America. In fact, visiting an American supermarket, and ESPECIALLY a Costco, makes one feel like Gorbachev when he first visited the US 40 years ago. There sure is a lot of stuff to buy. Except for one thing. Hooded towels, extremely popular in Australian surfing culture, are completely foreign…

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.
