  • Roganaining

    With only three days left until the election, things are getting tight. I’ll write a longer pre and post election piece this week, but today I wanted to capture my thoughts on “podcasting as an electoral strategy”. Or in the common tongue, should you go on Joe Rogan if you want to win? I’m an…

  • Reals over feels

    I had the strangest sensation when I woke up, hazily, this morning. It was 7 am ish, and only a few hours since I had been up helping with bub. I wasn’t 100% with it, that’s for sure. I briefly considered watching my fave Premier League team in action, as they had the early kick…

  • Finish strong

    This was my first week back from Pat Leave, and I came out of the blocks swinging. Unfortunately, a few of them didn’t land, and things weren’t heading the way I was hoping. Never a nice feeling. Good news is that today, knocked it out of the park, and set up next week nicely. If…

  • Sub-zero

    After 7 or so months, we are back to where we started. Last night the mercury hit sub-zero (Celsius that is, we’re not that bad yet), and only rose above around 8 this morning. One thing I have learned from living here is that temperature is only one part of it; equally important is humidity…

  • Waffle Wednesdays

    Like most people, I am in a collection of group chats with friends. It’s a nice, low effort, always on way to stay up to date with mates, even if you’re separated by oceans, responsibilities, and time zones. They rise and fall in activity, with short bursts of activity, followed by longer periods of dormancy….

  • Pat on the back

    Paternity leave came to an end on Sunday, and I’m back to work. Some of my non-American readers may be shocked, perhaps even appalled, by the two weeks. I prefer to follow the path of gratitude; at the end of the day, my employer is early stage, lacks funding, and didn’t have to offer me…

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.
