Today I received a confirmation letter from my movers. They are thanking me for my acceptance of their offer, and they are confirming the date of the move—July 5. So, a day after my last party all my stuff will be packed and carted away. As I will not have any luggage when I leave Reading for the last time on July 19, everything that I still want from my place will have to fit into my knapsack, which always goes with me into the cabin. By the current airline rules, which can only get more onerous, this adds up to six kilograms at most. To wit, the last two weeks I will be like a ghost haunting his own house.
