    I have wall paper gremlins. The plan was to finish at three and out the door to sea. But first I had to move the (***** big pantry). Easy I thought. Slide my trolley under it, jack it up whip it out and slip slap done. Then I found the trolley wouldnt pass through mongrel pantry's legs. I had to shift the cabinet to the side of it first.
    So I move the cabinet to the side. Then I discover I still cant move the damn thing. Have to disconnect an attached cupboard. Then still cant move it to heavy. Need to grab a car jack to lift it up a bit then try and inch it forward. Nearly lose casting ability as pantry which is the size of an elephants coffin teeters towards me. Partner is holding it,saves my life but now complaining of back pain. So lower it quickly. Not crushed yet.
    Fish still waiting and now its 3.30pm. After much cursing wiggling scratching loosening it begins to move. But wait hang on. There are wine bottles in there and Jim Beam. Must move this first. Tempted to drink it as the clock ticks to 3.45pm. Finally pantry out. In with the wall paper, slip slap up it goes. But she is still there. You need to do the back wall too (moan moan). Curses. So I do back wall too.
    4.15 fish slipping away, but still desperate to go. Pack stuff away, pack wife away. Grab bait... 4.30 maybe an hour of light .... Then it begins to rain. Dont care must fish, did fish. Caught nuthin. Next time (isnt that what we all say).
