# Aideen's Wake Up Call

**Saturday, July 25, 2026**

Good morning, Dublin — and good morning *especially* to Aideen, the one and only listener of this show!

Join host Lachie Rocket for his signature chaotic morning briefing, serving up everything you need to face your Saturday with confidence (or at least with a jacket you can take on and off repeatedly).

**In today's episode:**

🌧️ **The Weather** — Dublin wakes up cloudy but dry, with afternoon drizzle rolling in to lightly mist you "like a fancy, but slightly grumpy, houseplant." Expect humid conditions, temps hovering between 17–19°C, and a moderate westerly wind strong enough to give your hair an opinion of its own. Allergy sufferers, take note: the pollen count is moderate, so pack the antihistamines alongside your existential dread.

🕊️ **The Happenings** — Lachie uncovers a cultural event tailor-made for Aideen, queen of Irish arts: *"Ode to a Forgotten Leap Card,"* an immersive dance piece performed live on the Red Line Luas. Picture dancers dressed as very emotional pigeons, voguing between Jervis and Abbey Street — equal parts high art, public transport, and tourist confusion.

So grab your umbrella (maybe), your Leap Card (definitely), and tune in. It's shaping up to be a slightly damp, pigeon-filled, artistically ambitious Saturday in gloriously weird Dublin.

*Subscribe so you never miss a wake-up call — Aideen would want it that way.*

**Friday, 24th July 2026**

Rise and shine, Dublin! Your favourite slightly deranged sonic alarm clock is back — broadcasting live from the kitchen table, mismatched socks and all. Host Lachie Rocket is on a mission to drag Aideen (and the rest of you sleepyheads) into a Friday that's positively crackling with energy and mad ideas.

First up, the weather — and it's a typically Irish mixed bag. Expect a grey, moody start before the sun makes a fashionably late appearance, with highs of 19–24°C and a gentle breeze: prime linen shirt weather. But don't be fooled — there's a 95% chance of a dramatic downpour timed perfectly for your lunch break, so pack the sunglasses *and* the umbrella. Pollen is moderate (antihistamines at the ready) and UV is moderate to high, so slap on that sun cream.

Then, your weekend, sorted:

🦆 **The Liffey Leap** — a micro-festival down by the quays, where performance artists commune with the spirit of the river through interpretive dance... accompanied by several hundred rubber ducks. Profound artistic genius or absolute shambles? Either way, a brilliant Saturday afternoon.

🎤 **Paddy Power Comedy Festival** — stand-ups and storytellers take over the Iveagh Gardens for a lively Friday night of laughs.

🕯️ **Hans Zimmer by Candlelight** — St Andrew's Parish Church hosts classical musicians performing spine-tingling scores from *Inception* and *The Lion King*.

All wrapped up with the show's signature send-off to Dublin's one and only Queen of Creativity. Get up, Aideen — the city is waiting!

## Weather & Happenings in Dublin – Thursday, July 23, 2026

Rise and shine, Aideen — it's Friday-eve! 🌤️

Lachie Rocket is back in his spare room with another high-energy, tongue-in-cheek wake-up call to get you out of bed and into your Thursday. This morning's rundown:

🌡️ **The Weather:** Dublin is serving up a pleasant one — a mix of clouds and sunshine with highs of 21–22°C and just a light breeze. Tonight turns cloudy and cools down to a cosy 12–13°C. Perfect sleeping weather!

⚠️ **Health Watch:** Two warnings from your favourite amateur weatherman. Pollen counts are HIGH today and tomorrow (hayfever sufferers, you have been warned), and the UV index is elevated — so slap on that sunscreen. Lachie speaks from painful personal experience... involving sunburnt eyelids. Yes, eyelids. Don't ask. Actually, do — he tells all.

🎭 **Culture Corner:** There's a new pop-up show near Stephen's Green that's either genius or madness — *An Unlikely Duet*, featuring a classically trained ballerina performing interpretive dance accompanied solely by the sounds of a temperamental old photocopier. Lachie's verdict is still out, so he's delegating the final judgement to resident arts patron Aideen. Weekend plans: sorted.

So get up, grab the suncream, and seize the day — Friday's almost here!

# Aideen's Wake Up Call – Wednesday, July 22, 2026

Rise and shine, Aideen! Your slightly unhinged alarm clock Lachie Rocket is back in the toast-crumb-filled studio with everything you need to face the day in Dublin.

First up, the forecast: it's a cloudy, reluctant start to the morning, but hold tight—the afternoon delivers a proper burst of sunshine with highs of 20–23°C. Pack the sunscreen though, because UV levels are moderate-to-high, and allergy sufferers beware: the pollen count is up there too. Come evening, things turn dry and cool, dipping to a dreamy 9–12°C. Perfect sleeping weather... pity you're awake now, eh?

Culture vultures, tonight's menu is stacked. Catch rising star **Eldars** launching their brand-new E.P. at Curveball, or head to Monkstown where legendary trad warriors **KíLA** are tearing the roof off a church (respectfully, of course). And looking ahead to the weekend? Colombian Day brings the fiesta to the National Stadium, while rowers take to the Liffey for a regatta worth rolling out of bed for.

So get up, get out there, and make the arts happen. This is your wake-up call, Aideen—don't hit snooze on Dublin!
