  • Peak email?

    I have had a Gmail account for ~15 years. In that, I have received over 110k emails in my primary alone. If I include Promotions (a hostel you went to 12 years ago is have a sale!, Updates (someone you don’t even recognise on LinkedIn just got promoted!), and Spam (Nigerian princes need your help!)…

  • Comeback Kid, Oldie Edition

    Today was Day 1 of the Third Test between Australia and England, hosted at many people’s favourite ground, Adelaide Oval. The visitors have been woeful so far, and are already 2-0 down with three games to go. It is looking bleak. Australia has been riding high, except for one gentleman. Usman Khawaja, who usually opens…

  • Bondi Sadness

    If you’re reading this, you have access to the internet. And if you have access to the internet, you have heard about the tragic events in Bondi. A lot of people are surprised. And you know what, so am I. Perhaps I shouldn’t be, but the Australia I grew up in just didn’t have this…

  • Mud Brick

    We are back in Auckland now, back to reality really, but today we were fortunate enough to go for a long, leisurely lunch at Mudbrick. One of Waiheke’s best restaurants (and they have a few!), it was quite the experience. New Zealand isn’t a perfect place, but it does have exceptional food. Looking over the…

  • Island time

    After a week in SF, I’m back in Auckland. Even better, I’m in my favourite part, Waiheke. With so much going on with travel, visas, work, weddings etc, Ky and I booked in a night just for the two of us on the island. We’re in a tiny but rather charming bach (pronounced batch, the…

  • SF

    I’m on the way to the airport after a very full, very productive week in San Fran. As soon as that plane takes off, I am going to pass out. Late nights, long days, and a new bed take their toll. Beyond work, I have been able to do a lot. Staying with one of…

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.
