Merlot

I recently got invited to join a writing group. I love it. The prompt this week was to write down snippets of what we heard people say and use it in our next piece. I had loads of fun with it as a writing exercise, but I think it needs to be packaged in a pharmacy bottle and marked "Do Not Use With Alcohol: may cause giggling, stalking of British friends to write down everything they say, and later, much confusion. Oh, and maybe a little sensitivity to light in the morning."

• "Ccmbrs wat.y innards"
  
• "fut thru a shu"
• "engineerschlsstalliz e lfo .death"
  

Those are the brilliant lines I captured from last Saturday, when my British pal and I shared a long tall bottle of Merlot.
