As I write this I am renegotiating [...] It has been some time since I last fished for a full 9 hours.

It is strange as I have worked near it for years and have always wanted to have a cast on it for just as long and it is only now that I have finally got around to it. I am [...] Sadly, I had to attend a funeral as my first act of business for the day.
