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. (New name for the Crew: Gentlefriends?)

S2 Lucius smoking a roll-up, possibly in 2x5 but I cba to check. He is looking jittery and I would be unsurprised to learn he was plotting against Ed.

Not showtime for a few hours, but the best preparation is dressing well. The top I embroidered and which Con and DJ signed and my late mother’s wedding ring, which I wear on big occasions to feel her near me.

It might come as no surprise to some of you that my most loved #ofmd pieces are those made for me by someone else in the fandom- who shall remain anonymous - Stedeachu, Squizzy, Jigglius & PsyPete are my absolute pride & joy. And loads of you love them too! ❤️

This will be interesting. JC is a favourite, but I barely know Measure for Measure. Will be busy preparing for and performing at #TAODP, so will see what I have time for. Anyone know any good film adaptations of Measure for Measure?

To reel the streets at noon, and stand the buffet With knaves that smell of sweat Anthony & Cleopatra I, 4 #ShakespeareSunday THEME: SUMMER HOLIDAYS. #ofmd

A collage of screenshots from 1x8 showing Calico Jack being a rowdy hooligan. One photo shows him eating breakfast. It might even be a breakfast buffet, if Shakespeare hadn’t clearly intended “buffet” in its sense of “to be buffeted by the wind”.

To see the wonders of the world abroad, Two Gentlemen of Verona I, 1 #ShakespeareSunday THEME: SUMMER HOLIDAYS. #ofmd

Stede in, I think 1x4, remembering when he first arrived on the Revenge. He is on deck, carrying a single bag and looking very small and alone. The start of a new adventure.

Why, this is very midsummer madness. Twelfth Night III, 4 #ShakespeareSunday THEME: SUMMER HOLIDAYS. #ofmd #cononeill Thank you to @darkdancer72.bsky.social and her family for playing with me this week.

Con O’Neill as Jim Caxton from Midsomer Murders. For some reason, I’ve managed to save the same image twice 😉. The episode is called “Schooled in Murder” but we all know it should be called “Lethal Weapon: Watch Out for the Cheese.”

But, indeed, sir, we make holiday, Julius Caesar I, 1 #ShakespeareSunday THEME: SUMMER HOLIDAYS. #ofmd

Olu in 1x2. He is holding a drink - some kind of rum, pineapple thing served in a half coconut shell. He is talking to Stede and Pete who are in a cage (out of shot). They are having a vacation but his is going rather better than theirs.
