E-mail is an essential part of Madam's life. She communicates to colleagues and friends thousand of kilometres away and since it was essential to her, she feels obliged to communicate to me using the same method.
Anyway, I have to say that I pretty much enjoyed her mails and I do look forward for mails with subject such as: Dinner gathering etc. It will be the chance for me to get to talk to her friends about the local customs, language, politics and maybe some info on local geography and interesting places to visit.
This time we invited for tea. That means curry puffs, light refreshments and fruits. Here in Lagos, they refer tea as Lipton... the brand. Just like in Malaysia...we say Kiwi for shoe polish and use Colgate to clean our teeth (although there's lots of brand out there).
Madam mentioned about Esther and Nkiru, their role in the company. Today we're hosting Nkiru and her team. Met her the first time when we moved to Lagos. He came with her husband and the topic of discussion was of course politics, at that time and both were at different spectrum. I forgot which one vie for which party but at least they did not put the house on fire. Thank god for that....

All arrived at the same time, which was a relief. Samuel and Ben hit it straight away. Must be the football game on the mobile phone. Straight away, the first question from Nkiru's husband, Lawrence.."what do you think about the President?" Well, I answered as diplomatically as I could. To be deported from the country halfway of assignment is not good, yes?

We were supposed to have tea outside at the veranda, but it was too hot. We had the light meals inside while talking about the latest gossips and happening. There's wedding the following week and and we talk about the curry puff that madam had made.
Second round was spaghetti and some fruits.

After meals, the usual hang out activity....looking at the Lagos Lagoon from the balcony... also some photo op before all of them depart for home.

Thanks for coming over to our place. To be able to talk and mingle around the team and family does break the boredom during weekends.
