Court all the morning. One big case. Pleasant cool day & strong shamaal. Had a look at Abdulla b Hamed's
house after tea, which he wants to sell. Quite a good house.
Various people came to call, Storms, T Taggetts, another DPA & Holmes after which we went to Mespers for
Bridge. People now talk incessantly of whether or not there will be an air raid here.
Tuesday 20th May
Fort - musketry, doing a short course & not so much practice, results not good.
Office. Sh M came, & stayed a long time. Warmish weather. An exodus of Jews & Indian families
beginning. I am not surprised at their feeling nervous.
Drove round. Snow to dinner & to the pictures - a rotten show.
Thursday 22nd May
Went to the Kennedys for drinks.
Dined at Rafaa with Ali b Ahmed, dinner on the roof, very pleasant & had a good talk about the anti English
feeling among the youths. Stayed quite late.
