B B Q chez Rita on Sunday

We ahve BBQ with Rita family today. It rain the whole night so there are a lot of flies and this little insects we are not used to from Pointe Noire. It is not mosquitoes but it suck blood and leave infected itchy skin for a long time like mosquitoes. Franklin is lucky he wore sock and tennis shoes so he did not get any bits I got million of them all over my feet. I need to get two kinds of pommade. The first one is to prevent the insect to bite again and the second one to calm the skin so it will not itch to death. We have a good time and did not come home too late. i got to practice the whole sequence of yoga today which is good. Tomorrow will do the same.
On Monday , I request the cleaning guy about my sock .So apparently it has disappeared.I need to eb more careful. The light bulb brigade did not come today. To change ligt bulb here is quite a protocol and ceremony. They first need to come to check which are the bulb grille ( their way of saying the bulb eed to be taken out) when they find which light bulbs are grille. then proceed to unscrew the bad bulb. This is done under teh supervision of one superviser and one guard who has to accompany them everywhere in the building in case they take some thing from the house.
Then they take the bad bulb in a plastic bag and go back to the company to exchange for a good bulb to be replaced. They need to present the bad bulb to get the good one.The company can not send them the approximate amount of bulbs because they will sell it or take them home for themselves. That explain the reason why the guy who never clean up after himself clean up teh broken bulb and take the pieces with him. Because he need to proof at teh company thet he really did broken one bulb.
