I have nowhere to put such a thing.

It is possible to rent storage space, but it's expensive.

My long term plan is to declutter, by getting rid of things, i.e
by *not* storing them. Frex, an entire shelf of academic papers,
many of which I acquired because the abstracts sounded interesting
but I never got around to reading - or ones I've read, but contain
ideas that are either "obvious" or easy to reinvent, and too old
to be worth citing anyway.

Besides, I don't write academic papers any more, so why would I
need to cite them? (Some, I might compromise, and scan them, since
bits in my computer take up the same amount of space whether they
are ones or noughts. But scanning articles is time-consuming.)

Also I have many tens (hundreds?) of SF books which I'll probably
never read again - I could start selling them on e-bay. Not because
I particularly want to get rid of them, but because I *do* need
to create space.

(Finally got rid of an old monitor lying around ... a destitute
writer friend's monitor packed up, around 2000 words (he reckons)
from the end of his latest novel. "Do you know where I can get
a monitor cheap?" he asks me. "As it happens, ..." I reply. I
reckon he owes me a pint, though, which seems a fair price :-).
