Yes, £1,468.40, I finally did a total up of what I've raised so far. This total includes two estimated amounts and conservative estimates at that, but does not include other people with sponsorship forms or the 4 tins in New Quay or the 8 tins in Lampeter. It'll be interesting to see how the tins fare as the 4 in New Quay have been there for months, whereas the 8 in Lampeter only went out yesterday, but they do have added dangly bits that state the date etc and have the photoshoped image of me doing the skydive (and now I'm kicking myself for not taking a photo, because they did look quite good) .
Though not, obviously in that boring old rectangle, oh no, I had to go and design a cloud shaped speech bubble for the picture and a separate one for the text, so that hey took ages to cut out, very laborious and painful on the fingers though they did look quite good, even if I did say so already.
And the tomatoes? You'll no doubt be wondering.
I had to harvest the tomatoes today - all of them. This was due to a spectacular string collapse in the greenhouse. Partly due to the sheer weight of the tomatoes, partly to the rather ancient strings and the final factor being the nasturtium jungle that had grown up behind them and got so dense it was pushing the tomatoes forward, adding to the weight. It wasn't quite what I had in mind - I had hoped to harvest them gradually as they ripened - but I'm sure I'll find something constructive to do with them. Off to look up recipes for fried green tomatoes....
