    And I'm back!
    So I havent posted in a very long time - since December it seems, mostly due to my new job blocking facebook and because I'm now attempting to fit in two persons lives in the same space as one.

    New job is going well (I think) - I have an apprasil on Monday so I guess I will know for certain then.

    KP is well - and for some strange reason still wants to marry me, which given that I can cock things up without even trying - surprises me no end.

    Speaking of the wedding - I have a fitting for my suit on Saturday and KP has her first dress fitting. That sort of thing really rams it home to you and reminds you just how much is left to do.

    Very close to taking my driving test - I have a new instructor since moving to Bristol and it all seems to have clicked into place - finally! lol.

    Amnyway I hope everyone is well and hopefully we can catch up soon.

    Kenworth Returns.
    Ok so i havent posted much recently so time for a roundup.

    The engagement bbq went well, thanks to the people who came and I hope you had a splended time.

    Am now in a position of responsability over a small child. I'm hoping my general duites include reminding her of how much her dad sucks at Goldenye and spoiling her rotten.

    My engagement present from KP was an xbox 360 - so there goes my free time....

    I have discovered planning a wedding is as much about dodging bulletts as it is making a day special...

    I'm happy and very much in love...which makes me lame....

    Online gaming
    I have been singed off of work for another week, which will make the total of my convalesence 3 in total. To be honest I'm starting to go a little stir crazy. I think i have watched the whole of my dvd collection and even got so board as to register for and play a bit of "Second Life" - which was crap btw and i dont recomend it.

    With the Wii not realsing any online games untill Mario Kart (which i am so buying..) I wondered if those of you that have had had experince of online gaming could recomend any? The missues has gone back to work and I think an easy to pick up (and fun) online game might be the answer....

    Kenworth VS the Hospital
    So my bank holiday weekend was fun - i spend sunday and monday in hospital after emergency surgery.
    Feel like crap, every muscle in my body aches - which i am told is due to the anasthetic. I was on morphine which was the only thing that could dull the pain enough to let me stop thrashing about in agony - but even better than that was the oh so fun alergic reaction i had to the morphine.

    Was on a drip because i couldn't keep any fluids down and im still on so many drugs i could start a pharmacy. Still at least im home now but even the simplest things like walking downstairs tire me out.

    Will post more when i feel up to it, but i am on the mend.

    I must attempt to post more regulary
    I'm learning to drive again, which is both fun and annoying. Anoying because i have to spend at least an hour a night praticing the theory and hazard perception tests.

    Downloaded a couple of classic games last night for my nintendo wii - and yes Mariokart 64 was one of them so beware all the fools who thought i had lost my touch.

    Kirsty went to a birthday party in cardiff last night and my own plans fell through so i spent my first weekend alone in the house, our house, which has a nice ring to it. Its weird when i lived with Caroline i never felt more than a lodger but here i truly feel at home. I guess it helps not having to hide all my stuff away and having an equal say in what we do with the house. I know thats all normal when you live with someone but as my only other experince was with a crazy woman it's a bit of a shock.

    Oh and to truly shock those of of you that know me well. Last week i assembled a butload of furnate on my own and plummed in a dishwasher and washing machine.

    Yes, it seems mr Kenworth has become domesticated....


    Well i have a roast in the oven so i better go and check i havent burnt it.

    I'm going to Egypt
    Kirsty and I made the decision yesterday, we found a really nice hotel (4 star) in Luxor which is near karnack i think, the vally of the kings and the nile are next to the hotel.

    I've always wanted to go and this is a dirt cheap holiday for what it is (£500 for the both of us) although i suspect i will make many a bad Raiders of the Lost Ark jokes while im over there.

    I'm going on the 20th and i cant wait...

    Saturday on the way back from Bristol I discoverd what it is like to be in a fender bender.

    We were at the junction coming off of the M5 back towards Dursley when someone decided they would run into the back of Heathers car. We are both ok and the car didnt have a lot of damage but it was not pleasant nonethless. Feel a bit stiff round the shoulders this morining but nothing to major. Heather was more anyoned with the fact she has just got the car fixed from the last time someone did that to her.

    Still, could have been a lot worse and apart from that had a very lovley day in Bristol. Spent a lot of money on books and had a great meal at the Fish Bar in Clifton, which combined with the £60 I spent on a new creative zen mp3 player and the further £10 i spent on Sennheiser earphones (I saw the same model in a shop window for £39 on Saturday) means its time to tighten the belt for a month.

    Anyway I'm supposed to be writing so I should really get back to it.

    Sat on a rooftop at quater to 11 on a Saturday night.....
    To watch the lunar Elicipse (we have stairs on the side of the cottage which allowed this) I concluded two things.

    1. It was not the best idea in the world to be sat up there in a tracksuit and slippers.

    2. It was an amazing sight.

    Glad I did it.

    Book help
    So after faffing around I have returned to "things change". I've deleated every other book ive been working on in an effort to concentrate on this. You see I had a brain wave and found a way to make it work. I've dropped the scifi angle and the main charater will now have simply been in the coma and aged (as opposed to not aging as he did before). I've also changed the ages of charaters to 17 and 30, and the timeline. It now starts in 1993 and switches to 2006. Ive reworked a couple of the charaters and simplified a few things and now it all clicks.

    But, I have a query that I need help on.

    Now this will be vauge as I don't want to give away the plot twist I came up with but here goes.

    If person A gives person B an apple, then later in the book that apple becomes relevent to the story does it make for a better story if:-

    1. The reader knows the apple was given from a scene written into the book

    or

    2. There are clues that something happened but the act of apple giving is not revealed untill the moment of the twist?

    Personally I prefer option 2 but any other thoughts would be greatly appricated.
