  • Date Night

    It’s always a blast. Every fortnight, we just do something for the two of us. Tonight was a gym session together, followed by Asian food. A $100 a week investment into our relationship is the best ROI we could ever imagine.

  • Le Heist

    There has been a grand robbery in the Louvre. Sacre Bleu! It’s one of those breakthrough stories that has everyone interested; similar in a way to the missing submarine a few years ago Three things that have caught my attention:

  • Quote

    I came across this David Foster Wallace quote today: Because the technology is just gonna get better and better and better and better. And it’s gonna get easier and easier, and more and more convenient, and more and more pleasurable, to be alone with images on a screen, given to us by people who do…

  • Windy mistake

    The weather was wild today. No rain, no hail, but plenty of wind. Sadly, we had forgotten to take down our outside shade umbrella, and we learned the hard way why it was 50% off. Snap.

  • Balanced

    Some weekends are flat out, and I arrive at Sunday night exhausted. Others (although this is very rare), are quiet, and I get to Sunday slightly bored. This weekend was perfectly balanced. Dinner with friends on Friday and Saturday, birthday party today, a chance to go to the gym and go for a run, and…

  • Almost done

    Almost four years ago, I bought a shaving soap tub. It looked like this: Well, after using it 4-5 times per week, or around 800 times, it is is finally finished. Not bad for $10. Wet shaving, with a brush, safety razor, and a traditional soap is easily the biggest cost saving hack I 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.
