It was a dual-purpose weekend.

It was a dual-purpose weekend. Sandwiched in-between two trips abroad, it was spent partly indulging in deliberate relaxation and partly in achieving a necessary set of practical and domestic objectives. Actually I should do more weekends like this - it might sound regimented, but it felt completely the opposite. Normally I leave all the practical stuff until it's too late and then end the weekend in a flurry, but not this time.

We watched AI: Artificial Intelligence this afternoon. I don't think I've really absorbed it properly yet, it's one of those films that I'll keep reflecting on for the next few weeks. I think it's a must-see. Much more Kubrick than Spielberg, it was moving, thought-provoking, funny and haunting in equal measures.
