Happy Christmas and New Year 2024 ! Blog By Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

Update

#Taken (offer accepted) With respect to arrangements re. the moving arrangements organised and pending !

In regards to the piano 🎹 This is 

Thank you 


*************************************************

So, instead of 'posting on social media', directly, I thought  I would write my Christmas Blog, whilst, hopefully encapsulating such a said theme regarding it.


Here goes !


Dear 

(Facebook) Friends


Thank you


for being available to me


Virtual friendship reasserts

what many of us

are too busy to accommodate

it seems

these days


Friends of old

you can keep in touch with

-

It's a weirdly strange kind of comfort

-


I've lost family and friends 

So have many of you


Yes

Sometimes

life's tough 


Though

At least we're here


Wishing and praying for peace ✌️☮️πŸ•Š️ in the world

In particular, for the Gaza/Palestine and Ukraine situations.


I also hope for help on high for viable sustainable options to beat the tragedies that we're presented with daily. 

From earthquakes to floods to volcanoes erupting etc.. 

People displaced. 

"Immigrants" seeking refuge, again and again.


We're all just people In this one land Called Earth

Yeah, I know, Spock would have a field day!


On that note,


Captain Elf, of the most wonderful world, Elfin

Is Calling !


A bit like, "London Calling"

But, Ohhhh, So Much Better !

Well, there has to be a musical reference in here, somewhere! 


So, anyway, I must dash. ! Yes, reindeers are on the brain !


Oh, and, by the way, would anyone like a piano ?

It's free to a good home *

I experienced some scams on marketplace on Facebook...

And, nevertheless,

Courtesy of the no fault section 21. (your behaviour can be faultless, however a landlord can relinquish property back regardless) I am looking to re-home a well used, but much loved upright piano.

But, remember, if you're seriously interested, a piano is for life It's not just for Christmas !

Yes, I know I couldn't resist ! 


*Please see this link for (my biog. page) contact details for collection arrangements:

https://handeldoesit.blogspot.com/2016/10/performance-artistteacher-miss-sophie.html

So, the piano needs to be rehomed in/by early January. 

It's a Chappell make, in good working order, some wear and tear to be expected and with only a few superficial deficits, it's a bargain.

It has a, very, interesting history:

Originally offered to me, also for free (I just needed to make the delivery arrangements) by the primary school, Queens Drive, I provided it for the musical development of and for my son. 

Then, years later I was privileged to make it my own.

What with The Queen's passing in recent years, etc., I think it's history is very special .

Please see the following pic. for a visual of the said piano:


Anyhows, regardless of my "private" rehoming piano arrangements Have a good one everyone !

And

Here's to all well being health, prosperity, success and, by no means least, Love 'n' Peace in, and from, 2024 onwards !

This did nake me chortle, butt (pardon the punn, not!) Not going to post the video that I have as evidence, however, my vocal contribution, (aside, to another female) whilst videoing the stage is thus: "Did you just touch my ARSE?  I'm not gay!"

I've got male and female gay friends, but let's just be clear on the matter - 

To me, the rainbow (colours) represent hope.

In this, particularly recent, troubled time of conflict and territory pride on earth -

Here's to:

Women's World Cup Blog By Sophie Cox-O'Shaughnessy

Good Luck Lionesses!

Go On Girls!

As the first women's World Cup Finals match dawns I feel impelled to celebrate and support our nation's achievement with thus good wishes!

As part of this I would like to share my fitness evidence pics..

Before And After 

*



Earlier on this year I decided whilst training on soft turf, that is so much kinder on the knee and hip joints to purchase these, cheap and cheerful, footie boots that support my feet more as well.

See here for my video also:
