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.
