Slumping and Slurping March 8, 2007

Posted by Jen in : Journal , trackback

Or, after a few Mint Juleps, slumping’n’slurping perhaps. Probably without the apostrophes. SchlumpingSchlurping. And uvver stuff.

Oh ‘eck. I’m talking twaddle. Two of my characters are currently in the throes of one of those fabulously drunken girlie chats, talking total b*llocks which makes perfect, perfect sense. Not, I emphasise, a sensible chat brought about by copious amounts of antibiotics and zero oxygen going into one’s lungs.

My characters are having a better time than me.

It’s not fair, not fair, not fair. IT’S NOT FAAAIR. Don’t worry. I’m not shouting. I cannot shout. I have only very small breaths. Ha. Cue Carry On jokes. Not. Just you dare. Seriously.

I am not drinking Mint Juleps. Instead, I am about to make a pie of shepherds. Yeah. Rock’n'roll, man. Yeah.

Do excuse me. I suspect I am not feeling quite myself.

Normal service will be resumed shortly. Well, maybe. You never know.

Oh dear, I don’t think I can think about mint juleps after yesterday… too much wine and resultant weeping! You sound like you’re having more fun, anyway.

C’mon JJ… you’ve had time to recover, it’s the weekend, time to party!! No? Ok. *Passes a herbal teabag to suck on*

Kate, I quite like the sound of Mint Juleps… they sound so impressively colonial! ‘Twaddle’ is a fab word. I like ‘oomph’ too, simply because it looks so marvellous written down!

LQS - thank you. I like hugs. Hugs and words. Lovely. Here, have a herbal tea :)
