Politics on the Edge
That’s the name of the book I have just started reading, by former British MP Rory Stewart. I’m only a few pages in, but so far, it looks great. It comes highly recommended, so I will get back to you when I am finished.

Lark at the park
We have had two family outings to the park this weekend, and each time we saw some rather peculiar things. On Saturday, we saw an orthodox Jewish couple walking the lake in the opposite direction to us, an entirely unremarkable occasion. Or at least it was until a runner, who for reasons unknown, deemed it…

Duolingo Max
I have been gifted three days worth of DuoLingo Max, which is the AI powered version of DuoLingo. It’s a great addition. It unlocks features like video chat, where I can chat with an avatar in Spanish, both verbally and written. It is certainly a step up from what they already have. However, this benefit…

A good week
How do measure if you had a good week or not? Do you use a checklist or quantitative approach, idealized as “my goals are to do X, Y., and Z; if I do, that’s a success”. Or is it a feeling you have on Friday evening where you think, well, that was time well spent,…

Date night
Ky and I had our first date night this evening since Occi was born. It was two hours, but it was great. Kylene’s old company runs an alumni event every year in each city they operate out of. It’s a pretty sweet gig to be invited to; technically they’re looking for clients, but we’re just…

DOGE
As someone with an above average (not difficult) interest in fiscal policy, in the peak Elon fanboy demographic, and an enjoyer of big bets, I was pleased to see Trump’s appointment of Elon Musk and shit-stirrer extraordinaire Vivek Ramashwamy to the newly created Department of Government Efficiency, aka DOGE.

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.
