Fi Shoop
@fishoop.bsky.social
The Cocktail Hour radio presenter, generally found on the sofa under a sprocker-pointer cross or at drinks festivals. See my other account, FiWhiskyDram.bsky.social for more drinks-related posts
I forgot about this account. My whisky posts are on fiwhiskydram.bsky.social but I will use this one for posts about my new spaniels, Laphroaig (Froggy) and Tobermory (Toby). Jazzy greyhound is very missed

I talk, write and drink – and I talk and write about drinks. To be found at drinks festivals or on air talking about them. I am over 21 https://www.mixcloud.com/FiShoop/ https://quaffed.wordpress.com

The reason I’ve been awake since 1.30am has claimed my lap as his territory. He’s fast asleep now, I’m shattered and dreaming of a decaf Irish coffee

It’s so cold today, Jazzy’s under his blanket, I’m about to add brandy to my coffee

I should be on here more often but it’s grey sky weather these days. And I keep forgetting to check in!

Currently being serenaded by a greyhound after fish sticks

Today's music choice is set to heartrending but mellow – Stan Walker's Moemoeā (feat. Seth Haapu) which I've played on my show a couple of times

I was working in a shop as a student & suddenly felt really weepy but couldn't understand why – until I realised that there was music in the background which I hadn't noted consciously but it was in a minor key and really got to me.

Music definitely influences my mood and influences my show tracks

Thanks to the other place and someone's son, I learnt a new term this week - bump. I think this cat needs to go to kitty rehab. That's more than a bump!

It's the Winter Fair at Ardingly, West Sussex on Sat and Sun, I'm meant to be going there to review it but it's weather dependent now - 58mph winds en route and not sure if we'll have more snow but there are fantastic stands there inc Bewl Water and Carr Taylor wines www.seas.org.uk/winter-fair/....

Step inside our giant snow globe and experience a world of festive fun at the Winter Fair. Book your tickets today.

I found it fascinating seeing the tributes to John Prescott - we're talking what seems to be old-school politics, respect for people with opposing views.

But dismayed to see people celebrating his violent reaction to being hit by an egg. That would escalate these days

I thought I should probably have an account here under my own name so no one decides to impersonate a radio presenter who keeps losing her voice at the most unfortunate moments.

My avatar is of the woof alarm himself, Jazzy greyhound, my 10th rescue dog – and an arthritic beer thief
