As always: for my husband red wine, for me white wine.
"When I was young, strangers complimented me."
"What was your last sentence, honey?"
"Strangers made compliments in my youth."
"Often?"
"No, not often. I was shy and had to wear glasses."
"A lot of women have to wear glasses."
"I was too stupid to recognize that I was quite pretty then. Today photos tell me that..."
"Salmon or lamb chops? Or better the vegetarian dish?"
As always: no coffee after lunch.
We walk across the footbridge and reach the piazza.

Dear Angelika,
Very, very nice. The more often I read it, the better I like it.
Cheers from E. in Yokohama
Dear Angelika,
I love the haibun.
It reminds me a little of that song Maurice Chevalier sang, but you have added your own piquant poignancy.
I thought the haiku was excellent for the prose. It adds to the haibun prose without mirroring.
More please! ;-)
all my very best,
Alan

Great dialogue, Angelika. Especially impressive since English is not your first language. And the haiku provides an elegant denouemont.
