pickSet during Northern Ireland's 'Troubles' in 1987 with car bombs and riots. It is a work of fiction but is based on real historical events. A locked-room mystery kept me guessing throughout. Loved the humor of Sean Duffy and his sidekicks, Crabby and Lawson. This is the 5th book and each book gets better and better. I'm looking forward to reading the 6th book and recommend to those who love Irish history during the 'Troubles' in the 80's.

Andrew65 @EadieB 8 days. Although at my desk today from 7.15 am - 11.50 pm, but did get 10 minutes for lunch! 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 Oh my goodness! You're killing yourself! I hope you make it 8 more days. 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB So do I!!! This week should break the back of it hopefully. 107 reports to go! 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 You're getting there! How many years have you been doing these reports? 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB All 17 years as head Teacher / Principal. Although I‘m sure I write more each year! 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 That's quite an accomplishment! Do you get many positive remarks from the parents? Do your bosses know that you do this and put so much time into it? 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Very rare to get a positive comment back from parents. Some bosses know if parent governors but don‘t think anyone realises how long it takes. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 I'm sure it makes a difference to the children that you recognize their accomplishments. Good night and get some rest! 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Good night, problem is Adrenalin is now rife in my system. Conference in London on Thursday so will be a welcome change / break. Does make a difference to the children and my self-esteem in my job. Some leaders offer to take some of the load but would feel an abdication of what is important to me! 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 I can understand you not wanting to give up what you are doing. It makes your job feel worthwhile and you do it for the children and I'm sure they know that you really care about them. That is important with the poor children because their parents are too busy making a living to give them the attention that they need. I just hope you're not hurting your health by working so many hours without rest. (edited) 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Should be fine as can see light at end of tunnel! And that Scottish beach! Tunnel vision and working through a task is one of my key strengths. Thanks for caring. 😊 Now it is sleep time, 😴 (edited) 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 The Scottish beach is calling you and waiting for you! 5y
