Richard Rollinson<p>The tomatoes are finally coming in large quantities. Had enough to put out some surplus today. Had a lovely note left in the cart this morning. Did you ever notice that the largest and best tomatoes always grow deep within the support cages and wedged between the cage and a large stem in such a way as it&#39;s impossible to extract it without ending up with a handful of mush? Happens here all the time... More corn soon! 😀 <br /><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gardening</span></a> <br /><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Allotment</span></a> <br /><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/NewEngland" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NewEngland</span></a> <br /><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/zone6b" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>zone6b</span></a> <br /><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/gardening" class="u-url mention">@<span>gardening</span></a></span></p>

I've owned a pair of shorts for a few years that are very comfortable. I decided I would like another pair and I ordered direct on July 5.

On July 7 I got an email advertising more of their clothes.

On July 9 I got a note that my order was en route.

Then I got more ad emails on July 10, 12, 13, 15, 17 19, 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 29, 31, Aug 2, 3, 5 and 6.

My son (as a toddler) didn’t ask for things this often, and he once cried because I paused a cartoon for ten seconds.

Spam button deployed.

We have biscuits at work, the problem is I eat them all so I end up having to buy more to replace them to stop people thinking I'm a fat git, but then I eat them all again, it's a vicious cycle. Yesterday I even bought one packet for the office and one for me. I ate them both.
