  • Time flies

    It’s well known that your feeling of time passing accelerates as you get older. The two hour car ride which felt like forever is just part of life. The Olympics have really kicked this home today. We’re just over halfway through the Games, and it felt like it only started yesterday. Two weeks is a…

  • Full disclosure

    Today Ky and I completed our driving tests to get our full licences. I’m thrilled to announce she passed. I’m sheepishly embarrassed that I did not. Now, now, there is no need for histrionics. I didn’t run some invalid over, nor did I fail in some darkly comical fashion. Rather, I broke a well known,…

  • Why use the Oxford Comma?

    Sometimes I feel a bit bougie using an Oxford Comma, but that only makes it more appealing. For those who are unsure as to whether they want to adopt it, may I offer the following travesty as evidence in favour: Now, I know God did have at least one child, but he hasn’t been around…

  • Bye Bye BofA

    Today was a great day, as I was finally able to drop one of my biggest burdens, banking with Bank of America. To give them credit (excuse the pun), they did allow me to open an account without an SSN, which Capital One didn’t. From there, it was all down hill. Things I hated: Since…

  • Boil and burn

    It’s the best way to cook sausages. A lot of the time, people just chuck them raw onto a grill or pan, which has its time or place,, especially when feeding a crowd. The downside of this is that you’re often over cooking the snag, causing the juices to run out. By boiling the sausages…

  • No one wants fries with that

    There was an interesting article in the FT today on McDonalds about how they had dropped sales for the first time since the start of the pandemic. The reason for that drop was obvious, so why is this quarter a loser? The story, as is often the case in the FT, best found 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.
