 On Saturday we had a date night and watched [The Adam Project](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2463208/) which is a straight to stream (I guess the new straight-to-vhs?) sci-fi movie and which we both quite enjoyed.  This week we also finished [This is Going to Hurt](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4h8xbc0cPg), a drama (it has funny moments but I'd say not a comedy-drama because its more dramatic than funny) about a doctor in the NHS about 10 years ago. It has a pretty shocking ending and from what I can tell, is a fairly realistic and damning indictment of the funding situation in the NHS and also a celebration of the frankly heroic staff who keep it ticking over. We also finished [The Marvellous Mrs Maisel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOmwkTrW4OQ), a comedy-drama (truly this time) about a female standup in New York in the 1950s.

+I'm continuing to make incremental progress on my scientific paper - probably the last one I'll write before I write up my thesis. Scientific writing is slow progress - it can sometimes take me hours to write a single paragraph. Maybe my Zettelkasten workflow adaptations will help make this a little easier in the future.

 ## Next Week
 
 I'm working my usual 4 days for [Filament](https://filament.ai), 1 day on my PhD and I'll probably be in the southampton development office for a couple of days. My very talented ML team lead is on a well deserved holiday for the next two weeks so I'll be covering some of her projects and providing support for the rest of the team as well as continuing work on the Typescript project. It's Mother's Day in the UK next Sunday so next weekend we'll be taking my wife's mum out for dinner on saturday and then driving up to meet my mum for lunch on the Sunday.
