Court; rather dull cases, but got finished fairly early. Sh Mohamed came in, I dont like him, he has constant lawsuits against
his tenants & is always squeezing money out of them, a mean little man. Went to Ali Tatum's in the afternoon to see him
about the car. The self starter is out of action, & then spent some time in the garden. Rather hot. People came to tea, the
Gunters to say good bye also Curry, he sails tomorrow. Didnt get much Bridge until most of them had gone, but played one
rubber with Holmes & Parke.

Friday 25th [March]

Went down bazaar in morning but as we were late it was all shut up, called on de G on the way back & met the new Captain
of the "Crocus", & Howe the first officer, whose wife follows the ship up & down the Gulf, then to Pickering, at the Bank, to
see his new furniture which makes his place look just like a rather inferior country hotel. Wrote letters after lunch & then
played tennis with Spences on the Agency Court & to Bridge at Armstrongs house.
