A round of chores and housework is often first up on a Saturday morning. It feels good to get all the nitty gritty out of the way early so the rest of the weekend is all about enjoying ourselves. In this case we had Louis and Rachel swing by for a big board gaming session of Root. We dived in as woodland critters and fought for control of the woodlands, all while completely misinterpreted the rules on how Rachel's faction works. We wondered the whole while how she was taking a clear lead ahead of us, I only have myself to blame as the game's teacher (I still won overall though).
From the forest to felines, we grouped up in the living room to watch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. In hindsight, it's pretty funny having seen Stalker so close to this one as both film are about a motley crew wandering through a shapshifting landscape in pursuit of a wish granting device... Puss in Boots was predictably the funnier of the two, in fact there were some riotous moments which had Louis in stitches. It had a really fantastic energy, a precursor for a new wave of animated films but tempered with classical storytelling that kept things lean and pacey. Really solid romp - the polar opposite of Stalker!
