Rude lid
I went to get my hair cut today. It didn’t work out great. Pics are by request only, and it certainly wasn’t the worst cut I ever had. But it isn’t the best.

Butcher box
I’ve been sorely disappointed by the meat at our local supermarket, particularly the chicken. Out of desperation, I ended up ordering from a company called Butcher Box. Grocery delivery is a tough game; I know this from experience running The Flying Zucchinis many moons ago. But sadly, the BB team haven’t nailed it. The salmon…

Earlier
Writing this blog is usually the last thing I do each night, right after Duolingo. It’s fine, but it means I’m giving myself the blue light treatment, plus if I want to read, I often lose that time. Last week I borrowed Thomas Keller’s cookbook from the library, and haven’t had a chance to read…

Up late
Last night I had a 9 hour sleep, and woke up rested. What a success! Today I got a weird side quest from the CEO, and it’s now just past 1am. Swings and roundabouts.

Inconvenience
Today I tried to cash our tax return cheque. That isn’t a typo, we received a literal cheque. Our main bank, SoFi, is digital only, so I had to schlep it down to our backup bank. Got frontline bankers, you either get unbelievably helpful and friendly experiences, or you end up speaking to someone dumber…

Back to basics
I like cooking creatively, and I like using ChatGPT to guide me while I’m in the kitchen. It works, until it doesn’t. LLMs have a tendency to “glaze” you, and they’re sometimes not as smart as you think they are. Today I was hoping to make a lentil, pumpkin, and sweet potato soup after a…

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.
