I didn't know whether to go in to the shop today as Mark had seemed in two minds when I spoke to him last. I phoned this morning but he wasn't in, so I spoke to Debbie. She said that they were a bit short handed and best to turn up just in case.
I turned up, had my lunch and was assigned the top till (yay!) so I played music all afternoon. I managed to play Midlake's Young Bride:

I also bought Ironclad from the shop, which looks a little over the top. It portrays the siege of Rochester castle in 1215 by King John and even has the destruction of the south-east tower by mining:
There seems to be lots of "fettling", a word used by my Uncle Alan to describe brutal combat. Seems an appropriate medieval word!
