Large breakfast with Weezer of bread and cheese and coffee till she headed back off to Brooklyn to fondle the ears of her beagle.

A beautiful day so we decided to go for a walk. MJ drove us back to Cold Spring harbor and we walked along the green belt trail through woods. Quite uppy and downy but it gave me the opportunity to learn more MJ language. If there is one nasty thing, you say Ew! as you look at it. If there are several nasty things, such as "bugs" a more guttural and profoundly disgusted Ugh! is in order. At one point on the path there were a dozen or so insects through which MJ scurried uphill adding "this is like hell" to the ugh noises.

Enjoyable walk, although last night's party and gormandising probably not the best preparation. I was pleased that my leg held up despite capering injury.

Back home to eat cold chicken and hot ziti. Then off to see Transamerica. This was an excellent film with a marvellous performance by Felicity Huffman as a pre-operative male-to-female transsexual. She takes an unexpected journey when she learns that she fathered a son, now a teenage runaway hustling on the streets of New York. It is sort of a road movie, but more about people finding ways of loving one another despite unpromising circumstances. A strangely feelgood and funny movie.

Back to Northport and we ate some Japanese food and then went gratefully home.
