Alban suggested that the Biladya should meet twice a week. The Shaikh was horrified at the suggestion. He really is terribly
lazy.
Wednesday [11 May]
Got a lot of office work done & went over all the Shaikh's private accounts. I have been doing them for a year now, when I
took on his balance was 23,000 & it is now 65,000 & in that time he has bought a new house, two cars & a lot of other things,
& he owes nothing - that I know of.
Very hot afternoon. Tennis at Spences & then Bridge & then had dinner with de G, a horrid dinner with meat that smelt high,
I didnt eat it but he didn't seem to notice. A sudden sandstorm in afternoon while we were playing tennis.
