Even though the weather was pretty dreadful, there wasn’t a dull moment from Laois tweeters this week.
The Electric Picnic countdown is on, Love Island is over and bloggers unveiled has been unvelied.
It’s all in our tweets of the week.

Daniel O’Donnell or Gordan Ramsey?
Doing cul camps this week and today heard kids having a full blown conversation about Bobby sands and the hunger strikers…. restored my faith in today’s youth. ?? #EIRE

Start them young!
Two thorns pulled from my leg and scratches head to toe…the struggle of searching for a sloitar in a hedge.

We know the struggle far too well.
I never realized how much I’ll miss watching #LoveIsland

We were sad to say goodbye to Love Island for another year.
Sorry now but I’m actually so ready for it to start smelling like Halloween and dark cosy nights so I can start watching Hocus Pocus and the Santa Clause

The spell of bad weather has some of us in Autumn mode already.
I am a year today in my first parish assignment. Can’t believe how quickly it has gone. I have made a lot of mistakes but hopefully I have learned a lot too 🙂 #priesthood #catholic #GodIsGood #keepprayingforme

Fr David reflected on one year as curate in Portlaoise Parish.
Hurling is the greatest spectator sport bar none!

We even got a nostalgic, if somewhat insulting, shout-out from the Rubberbandits.
PICNIC IS THIS MONTH !!!!
— Lauren from Tonga (@Lauren0809) July 31, 2018
We are COMPLETELY CALM.
How many times will this be heard over the next couple of weeks? "I'm going electric picnic but I haven't got a ticket" ??

The naysayers who swear off the Electric Picnic every year are always the biggest culprits come August.
This is like the millenials version of Maurice McCabe or Edward Snowden. No it’s not on the same scale of seriousness or exposure but it highlighted some of the greatest injustices in an unregulated and powerful growing industry. But we don’t very much like that do we. https://t.co/GWZ0ZRAUKg
