Ladybird on parsley

I'm home alone. 

Janet has taken Laurie home to London and won't be back until tomorrow. 

I've spent most of the day in Bristol getting some new tyres on Morrigan. The tyre place tried to charge me £15 extra because she's such a big girl, but given I'd already gone to the trouble of taking off the panniers I just smiled and pointed to the pre-paid "including fitting and VAT" final price.

I was however recommended to look into some new brake pads...

Nothing is simple, is it.
