Hmm, a strange prompt. Are you sorting through furniture ready for the move and deciding what to keep and what you need to replace?

The last seat at the table
The East Wallingford Auction, Antiques and Aspodistra House is pleased to announce that they will be offering The Last Seat at the Table at auction on Friday. This circular painting, measuring nearly 5 metres in radius, is part of Geraldinium Holmes's Antipope phase and has been deemed blasphemous in 45 countries and heretical in a further 101. At the same time, a flock of aspodistra numbering 13 will be offered for sale and are advised as perfect for the elderly matron who years to have a living room reminiscent of her time in the Afghanistan jungles in the sixties. The Last Seat at the Table is, of course, a parody of the Last Supper involving Mr. Punch, two Canadian ex-premiers, the little girl from Leon and a Home Alone 2-era Donald Trump.

Greg - I think it had something to do with Miles being the last one sitting at the dinner table because he both eats a lot and takes a long time to do so.

Hah! Appreciate the continuation of the East Wallingford theme. I hope that the town continues to make random appearances throughout the year.
