Friday Round Up
Pretty quiet weekend ahead for the Elevators… Not!
We have a strong Tipperary contingent here in Elevate so we’re hoping for victory in Sunday’s All Ireland final against Kilkenny…. we know the cats will be a challenge but we’re feeling very positive
Electric Picnic is taking place this weekend in Stradbally.. two Elevators are trekking down (going by the rucksacks anyway!) Hope the weather holds up.. it would be nice to have sunshine at it for a change.
Sad news this week with the passing of Mick Lally… It was always Where in the World, Glenroe then bed in our houses every Sunday evening growing up.. Our sympathies go out to his family and wide circle of friends
Today FM’s Ray D’Arcy Show celebrated 10 years on air this morning – it was a lovely show reminiscing with guests including Ray’s Mum, Mary, Dara O’Briain and Dustin the Turkey.
Back to school means good weather… and we are loving it! We will, however, come in from the sunshine to watch the X Factor on Saturday – the auditions are our favourite episodes.
