Names

Okay, time for a  more lighthearted post methinks! I've been saving this one up for a while, but a visit from a new member of our security firm today has made it definitely the day for this one.

There are some great names abounding out here. Names for people, shops, bars, even Daladalas (the fleet of local 'buses' aka brightly decorated and vastly overcrowded ford transit vans and similar)

Here are some of my favourites.

People we have met recently:
  • Godson (we know two of these)
  • Godlisten (both these get abbreviated to Goddy)
  • Kingdom
  • Filimon
  • Malachi
  • Charity
  • Bombo
  • Celestine (a very large, heavy set guy involved in security)
  • Abrogast
  • Happiness (several)
and my favourite so far, today's addition:
  • Deo Gratias
Bars/shops:
  • Happy shop
  • Alex shop (just round the corner)
  • New Conclusion bar
Daladalas:
  • Emma Safaris
  • Jubilation
  • Jesus is Lord (and many variations on this theme)
  • Black Idea
  • No limits
  • Donald
and my favourite:
  • Cupcake
and many more we have laughed about at the time and promptly forgotton.

We've had a relatively normal, quiet day today. Mr B checked in for bail and later took the car back to the fundi (car mechanic), got it fixed again, starting driving home, had it stall on him and make horrible noises, turned around and crept back to the fundi, and came home in a taxi. The Mancub went with him on the second trip and enjoyed being in the BIG CAR, looking in engines and coming back in a TAXI CAR. I was actually able to make a start on tidying up the accumulated clutter of the last several days without a little shadow demanding cuddles and books.

Tomorrow, apparently, there will be a MEETING and things will be decided. We await the verdict, meanwhile not really planning much beyond the next few days.
