Albert woke up, and stared out the window at what he and Clara had always called chocolate roses and vanilla snow.
‘It’s George Harrison’s birthday’, he thought aloud, remembering how much they’d always enjoyed those old songs.
He took a shower, got dressed, coffee and newspaper, and went about his daily chores.
‘It’s just another ordinary average day,’ he said, ‘Without Clara. That’s the part that will take some time to get used to.’
He passed the rest of a typical day going about his normal routine, often passing by their wedding photograph with a resigned smile.

You’ve done this well. Each image and each action tells us a little more about a happy marriage and the stoical grief of Albert.

You’re welcome. I know. Learned it this year from Hanspostcard’s blog last week but should have known it a long time ago. It falls on an old friend’s birthday or should I say her birthday falls on his as he’s older. I’m just getting started with his book, I, Me, Mine.

That’s a good book. I read it long ago. His birthday is really on the 24, but we’ve always though it was the 25th. I read Hans a lot too

It looks like lots of diagrams, handwritten notes, and photographs. Knowing they are from Geo I’m geeked about it. I see you commenting at Hans from time to time. He’s a daily read for me.
