For now, I’m just stopping posting and then I’ll see how things go. I’m a bit all or nothing so I can’t just reduce posting - it won’t work!

And I you ❤️ 🏴‍☠️

I still have your embroidery to do, so maybe I’ll join a stitch along? See how it goes!

I’ll be closing this account shortly, so this is my last #ofmd x #shakespearesunday post. No drama; I just need to go out and do something more boring instead and I didn’t want to slink off without saying so long and thanks for all the fun.

Daughter and her friend are toasting marshmallows on particularly vicious skewers.

Had to remind her to, “calm down, Miss Wavy blade.”

The crew of the Revenge on the deck. They are laughing, talking, drinking and comradeing. Izzy sits apart.

But ships are but boards, sailors but men: there be land-rats and water-rats, water-thieves and land-thieves, I mean pirates.

Oh no, I’ll have a look at that, thank you.

I rewatched this whole series recently. Loved it. Never read the books though.

Do you have a circle cutter or will it be a hand job?

There’s someone somewhere going, “Oh yeah, that bloke who used to get in really late and we all had to creep round in the morning to let him sleep in. He was a right PITA. Got the shock of my life when I saw him in Batman.”

Thanks Tater. And hello, @gillholman.bsky.social 👋 🏴‍☠️

Walk under his huge legs
