Day 1 of the lock down

Today is the first of at least 3 days we are locked down in our houses. Woke up to hearing of rockets hitting the presidential palace and a police building. Later in the afternoon there was a car bomb that went off out on J-bad road out by a lot of the military compounds. Been here working from the house today and trying to keep a ear to what is going in in town

All the campaigning is over for the elections just have to wait and see who wins now. I keep seeing reports of how corrupt the elections will be. BBC says they sent an undercover local national to but voting cards and found it easy to do. If they ca find then you know the guys running for office have got plenty.

I hope everyone understands why I do this but also know every safety precaution available is available to keep me safe. And if all hell was to break out Id be out of here in a flash.

One of my housemates just got home and he said the roads are getting bad so the UN send all non-critical workers home.

Besides that is has been just a lazy day here in Paradise...Ill be safe...Later JB
