Spent the whole morning at the Customs as de G is leaving on Sunday & I shall have to run the Customs in addition to my
own work. Tennis at Agency & after dinner Alban, I & the Dr went out to Idari & bathed.
Tiffah came in to see about some mending & told me a good deal of gossip about the Ruling Family's wives & affairs.
The five diving clerks from Muharraq came to see me in afternoon about the diving rules, which are being ignored.
Saturday 28th [May]
Busy morning. Sh Abdulla called & then held a Court, still a lot of cases. Worked in afternoon. Alban & I intended going to
Muharraq but too rough so put it off & went for a bit of a walk in the town. Mail arrived, got letter in evening. Dinner &
Bridge at Mespers, de G, Parke & Alban.
