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.

Karen, one of our Account Executives in Elevate, is volunteering in Tanzania for six weeks… here’s how she’s getting on:
I’m having such a great time, and am now half way through the project – I can’t believe how fast it’s going. We’ve just been so busy, it’s crazy! It feels like I’m here about three months not three weeks.
The school I’m teaching in is super nice, it’s called Top Stars and it’s really far away from the place that we’re staying in, but the principal comes and picks us up every morning in her pickup truck which is hilarious because we sit in the back with the bikes and chickens and food and stuff!! We all got bikes because we cycle everywhere! Seriously surprised I haven’t shed half my body weight because there have been daily bouts of sweat and tears on that bike.
In my school, there are only about 10 teachers but they’re all amazing people. It’s a nursery and a primary school so there are super small babies there, who are just adorable. The kids in the school are 3-10, years so they are quite young to be learning computers, but the teachers are really good with them. All our teachers started teaching the kids computers this week and they are really good, its great thinking that we taught them all of the stuff that that they know now…feeling very proud of myself!
Morogoro, the town we’re living in is a nice place up in the mountains. When we were on the way here from Dar Es Saleem, it was scary! You get such a culture shock when you arrive, as there are people everywhere, all living along the sides of the road. On our three hour journey to Morogoro, there wasn’t a second that we didn’t see people living in little houses on the side of the road. All of the African people just stare at us all of the time, they seem gob smacked that we are here. They constantly scream Muzungu at you (“white person”), which took a bit of getting used to, as they stare you right in the face and just roar the word at you!

Friday Round Up
- X Factor auditions took place in the Convention Centre this week. Simon was bored, Louis was as happy as ever and Katy Perry has a crush on Cheryl…
- Glastonbury’s 40th anniversary…. And it didn’t rain!
- Shakespeare in the Park – Fitzwilliam Square Park… Twelfth Night is on until Saturday, 3rd July, don’t you think it’s a lovely way to spend an evening? Hopefully there will be more plays on in the coming months!
- Larry King is retiring after 50 years (he conducted over 50,000 interviews) and Peirs Morgan is in line to take over, Piers has huge shoes to fill.
-A big weekend ahead of us with the Wimbledon finals, Venus is out so Serena will probably take the women’s title – not so straightforward with the men’s singles, with Roger Federer out – could this be Andy Murray’s year?
- Grey’s Anatomy.. what a finale.. we were on the edge of our seats watching it last Tuesday!
- Independence Day is this Sunday but to one Elevator it’s Eclipse Sunday…. Team Jacob all the way!
