Coffee and smoke break.

I have packed some of the games, and collapsed a set of shelves ready for transport tomorrow. I don't think there's much more I can do tonight in the kitchen - there's no bloody room. The boxes I already have are taking up the space I need to be in to get at other items and pack them.

I guess after this break it will be a case of filling another bin bag of junk from the bedroom, and then dusting off the suitcase and filling it with those clothes I don't need in a hurry.

I don't actually know why I'm chronicling all this; it barely interests me, let alone anyone out there. I guess it's just to remind me in the future what the outcome of years of hoarding is. Of course, that excuse presupposes I ever re-read any of this stuff.

It occurs to me that after the move, it will be a bit silly continuing to use the sobriquet Sir Bryan de Clapham since I shall be about as far away from the place as you can be and still remain in London. Maybe it's time I awarded myself a new and equally meaningless title. Move into the lower nobility, as it were.

The First Baron Whetstone, perhaps. Coat of arms: radial tyre sable surmounting oil patch gules...

Later: That's it. I've had enough. Shower and telly. All remaining packing can wait until another day.

I am sure that sounds plausible! After all, we really do have a "Baroness Blackstone of Stoke Newington in the County of Greater London".

That's the thing about titles of nobility. You only need a placename and you're sorted.

If I'm going to unilaterally award myself a meaningless and undeserved title, I think I want a good sounding one, so I'll think on it.

I think Baron may be a bit lowly for my needs. ;-)

Hum, the title of Margrave has fallen into sad disuse...

I'm pretty sure that's not an English title anyway.

Given your proximity to it and the fact it always used to give me a junior-school snigger on the way down the A1000, can I suggest the Marquess of Cockfosters?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

I am thinking of something to celebrate my forthcoming move into deep middle age, and celebrate my status as a living fossil by dubbing myself Lord Nautilus.

Admiral Coelacanth, First Sea Lord, perhaps?

Ah, now then.

You might be on to something, there...
