  • Back to new

    My wife got me a large wooden chopping block a few years ago. Some may think that’s a weird present, but I love it. Already it has become a unique reflection of my chopping style, with the slice marks at a very particular angle, focussed on the right hand side of the board, exactly where…

  • Micro Centre

    My friend and I are working on a project together, essentially building a safety deposit box that has a timer attached. In our ideal world, you could set the safe for a few days, months, or even years, and when the timer runs out, the safe opens. We have some ideas around it which we…

  • RAM it in

    I’ve been seeing a bit of a lag in computer performance recently, which I simply do not have time for. That isn’t controversial; I know you are exactly the same. The worst thing is that I wasn’t asking the world; all I wanted to do was share my zoom screen while having a few tabs…

  • Halloween Party

    Our apartment building is hosting the annual Halloween party, and it has been the best one so far. Not that I really know, we haven’t been to many, and this one we only just popped into, mostly to grab a few free snacks and beers. It would be nice to go down and be social,…

  • Bake the cake

    Our next door neighbour is making his NBA debut today, and we wanted to celebrate for him! Not knowing what exactly he might want, we decided to go for something everyone like, Chocolate Cake. Although he’s just a rookie, he has the famous number 23 on his jersey, which, fun fact, was the same number…

  • Watch this space

    My sports watch hit the hay last week, so I was in the market for a new one. In the past, I have usually gone with the classic black Swatch, but over the years I suspect they have downgraded their quality. They used to be terrific, but now, while still handsome and affordable, I just…

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.
