About

My name is Abraham. Amor is the name of my daughter. Baba Amor means ‘Father of Amor.’ Who would have thought! 🙂

In my mother-tongue, Amor literally means ‘I am happy.’ Yes, I know the Spanish meaning too.

~~This blog is meant to express my more ..er.. serious thoughts or my thought on more serious matters (as opposed to various ramblings I have in other places on the Wonderful Web)~~. This blog is where I express my views, tell stories (real and imagined, or a mixture), and generally practice my writing. I occasionally write what seems to pass for poetry.

You may gather from my posts that I live in Nairobi, Kenya. And I use British English – ‘colour’, ‘realise’ – and so on.

Thanks for dropping by.

Do feel free to say something.

Abraham, so glad you Liked “Death on the Church Steps” on Paper, Mud and Me. I have other books on paulsbooks.net. I have been to Nairobi once in my life, way back in 1944. We caught a ship from there headed for South America. I have a novel about the trip that is at a publishers and should be out in mid 2013.

I use British English too! I’m from Canada, so technically we use “u” (e.g. colour), but sometimes I get lazy and just skip it! :o…. I didn’t know though that realise with an “s” is British English. In Canada, realise is spelt with a “z” so realize.

Hello Abraham, or should I call you Baba? I like your writing and I look forward to reading more of it. I thought it was a great idea to tell people that you use British English, I never thought of that. I have found that my confidence in spelling has been completely undermined by WordPress’ determination to mark all my British spellings as wrong and now I seem to be mixing them up! I am going to have to make a stand and I think I will copy you and let both my readers know. thanks!

  Thanks for your kind words.
  I also got the idea to tell people that I use British English from another blog that I now can’t remember.

    Hello Abraham, I thought I would let you know that when I tried to visit your blog to see your FF post my computer said that you have malware on the site.
    best wishes James

      You are the second person to tell me that this week, but others seem to have had no problem. I’m not sure what to do, but let me look into it. Thanks for the feedback.
