    Looking after a baby means that your list of hobbies can’t involve hiking the Inca Trail on a lark, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have ANY time to do interesting side projects. Today, after putting it off for a while, I got back to my software project. It is small scale, and will…

  • I’ll have fries with that

    Over the weekend, Donald Trump added another career path to his collection, including real estate mogul, tv star, WWE contestant, and of course, president. It was the most American of jobs: working the drive-thru window at McDonalds. From an optics point of view, I think it looks good. Despite being a billionaire (or so he…

  • Catch up.

    For some reasons, the daily emails haven’t been coming through. I’m very sorry, especially as I think there have been a few bangers recently. Here are the latest ones that haven’t gone out, and I’m prioritising tomorrow to get it fixed. My apologies Article 1: Delivery. Part 2 of my trilogy on the birth. My…

    Cooking a steak is easy, but cooking it well can be a challenge. The issue lies in the fact that a deliciously cooked steak requires two components; a juicy red interior, cooked to medium rare, and a caramelise crust on the exterior, courtesy of the Maillard reaction. Seems simple enough, but to achieve this, you…

  • Postpartum

    So, we did it. Or at least Ky did it, and I cheered her on. Now, it was time for some well earned rest. We honestly couldn’t have had a better time at Rose Hospital. After the delivery, we spent two days in the hospital, which originally I thought was overkill. Two days! I want…

  • Delivery

    When Ky and I woke up on Monday morning, the first thing I heard was that she was 3cm dilated (the goal is 10) and it was all systems go. Today was the day. We were going to become parents. It started slowly. Over the next two or three hours, it was simply a waiting…

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.
