Update: Pup's First Christmas and Greetings from (from little ole me) my Good Self! By Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

So, I didn't go out this year to celebrate New Year, but staying in, and, getting dolled up, proves just as much fun, anyways.  

This is the first time I have worn this dress, and regardless of "being seen' in it's entirety, it doesn't matter Because it is in the feeling of the adornment that is most special, really.

So, girls, ladies, womenfolk  Remember, but most importantly, Enjoy This Fact!

BECAUSE it is a matter de facto!

It reads

Happy New Year!

Oh My Gosh! 

WHAT did he do to "Father Christmas"?!

 My Pup's Adventures 

"Update!"

Pup's continuing to have his adventures, but Mum said enuf is enuf, when, asked to leave him on his own for more than 7 hours, and, a potential, all in all, 18 hr, visit to London -  at a pre-organised and very special event, at which, a former contestant from the Strictly Dancing Show, no less, would be present, for example - "dogathon" - So what!  Mum lost £60 (sixty quid)!... and says, "So what! I  always, put the well-being of my pup and mine first! 😁"...

evidence Obvs.!:

Furbaby Mum, also says: "I purchased the ticket with the view that it enabled me to choose, as I am observing pup's development, and yes, he's doing so well, with his puppy training classes, as well, he's really coming on, however, imho, he's far too young for kennels, as yet, but, maybe, in the new year, we can, look forward to, and, plan for more  adventures and further afield!...

In the meantime time, as he well knows, there is a lot to do before, and for, the good will season ahead, so, he's, Obvs. getting his head down, as, he got landed with the, very much sought after job, Head Reindeer: Rudolph, following a very, successful, but a bit, tight audition, tbh, but, we're not going to dwell in that OHoho!..."

So, here's Rudolph, resting up, before the Big Job, ahead, in his indoor dwelling that he can come and go in/from-to, as he pleases - it's never ever locked Bcos To be Rudolph, Obvs. you have to be an exceptionally, very good (dog)reindeer, (Shh, don't go there, just, don't go there!) and this is an accepted and, maybe, expected, perk of the job, shall we say!

Anyhow Here, getting Ready for it, is, the Lead Reindeer, Pup of all pups, The Snow Dog: Rudolph: (sneaky peak - shh, don't tell anyone, and, you'll still get your, wish list, presents, from Santa!):

If You Haven't Already Get On It and Support Paddy McGuinness's Fundraiser Blog by Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

I've been following the process and progress of the Radio Presenter, Paddy McGuinness's cycling challenge to raise funds for Children in Need.

This year, I was fortunate to attend the Radio 2. in the Park in Preston.

As a musician, I often think I ought to be attending more music festivals.

However, as a person who doesn't like crowds I haven't.

I overcame this, as this opportunity upon my doorstep was something I really thought I ought to appreciate.

I'm so glad I did.

Along with the live acts that were brilliant it was really interesting to see radio presenters in person.

Here's Paddy McGuinness doing his stuff:

And, if you haven't already, get on it and, donate, to this very worthy cause and awesome fundraiser process for 

Children In Need this year!

Re. new Oasis News Blog by Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

Maybe 

This is a bit of good news, or ought I to say, Definitely Maybe ?!

Aha!

Anyway, well, yes, as a Blogger and an Artist, I like to write, of course, "the blog". 

Though, attaining an A-Level in English Language and Literature in one year, a fair few years after leaving school, and, completing a Creative Writing module as part of my Degree, has attributed to this hobby, but, dare I say?!  well, yes, I shall!  vocation of mine.

So, I spotted this pic. today, no less (as in, they make an announcement, also, today) in my "memories" on the social platform, yes, you guessed it, Facebook, and, it inspired me, to write a blog BCos, well not only is this photograph relevant it's pretty interesting:

The Ferret, aka The Mad Ferret is now, well, known as kinda The music venue in Preston, Lancashire. It's also been supported by Ed Sheeran, received funding (much sought after and well earnt) from the Council as well as going to be developed with help from other backers - as far as I know.

And, this photo is from when I performed at The Ferret, with the mural of Oasis as the backdrop, then. 

(I continue to support The Ferret when I can.)

So, here I am [See pic.], only 14 years ago, (and, my biceps are just as strong, if not more, ahem, "maybe", No, they're definitely, much more than just maybe, as is my repertoire That's also so much more aswell as is my musical prowess - well, let's just say, as I am, let's face it promoting Oasis by even writing this blog, in true Gallagher brothers style This is what I'm talking about!)

I think, that That actually could have been the longest insert/bracket I have evor written, no, it's Definitely Maybe up there with the best of them.

Every punn intended!

Anyhow,

 Good Luck OASIS!

PLUG: Jo Whiley's Sinéad O'Connor Show By Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

 I am thankful to and for Sinéad O'Connor and her legacy.  

Thanks to the brilliant radio presenter Jo Whiley's (Radio 2.) recent show themed: Remembering Sinéad O'Connor: from her passing one year ago, btw the show's ongoing - check it out It's Obvs ace - "A Life In Ten Songs" as regards to Sinéad's best songs ever. I'm guessing Tho., again it's always going to be personal choice; I'm sure it's fabulous And it's definitely on my To Do list.

However, in the mean time, as an avid radio listener, I keep catching Sinéad's songs on Jo's shows.

"Troy", I listened to this evening, it's amazing - I'm.not sure if I've heard it before, though I just keep on learnin'!

I'm my experience:

Sinéad O'Connor was very generous. She very kindly gave me her permission, via my request and her agent to feature her song in my Reach Out video:

https://handeldoesit.blogspot.com/2023/07/a-blog-regarding-recent-untimely.html

Regardless of the situation/my circumstances I shall always be grateful for this.  However, I shall reiterate this: the message, if my video, still, stands. I love ❤️ you son, Jerome, and always will. 

Thank you Sinéad O'Connor.
