No option
Newcastle United, the stress and misery-inducing Premier League football club, has decided they want to change their logo. There are many divisive things in football, that’s why people like it, but this has unified the fan base around one decision: don’t. The club only started wearing a crest in 1969, and have kept the current…

Un Gatto
There has been a stray cat that has been frequenting our backyard recently. Ky and I call him (?) Un Gatto, Spanish for “A Cat”. I don’t mind him, and have been giving him some milk. He loves it! I would too if I lived rough like him. Un Gatto comes more and more frequently,…

Prisoners of Geography
Have you ever wondered about why the British only emigrated to a handful of their colonies, despite at one point controlling 1/5 of the globe? Or in more frank terms, why did a lot more Brits go to New Zealand, and not Jamaica? The answer might surprise you, it certainly surprised me. Life in the…

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.
