1927

Saturday 13th [August]

Returned home after breakfast. No court as no cases. Discussed the location of the oil store with Kerr. Busy day in office. In
the afternoon we motored out to Idari & bathed then dined at Spences. Pack called but I was out. Played Bridge at Spences. I
won. Rs 10/ this month. Very hot night, very sticky so that I had to change my shirt twice when dressing for dinner. The
Shaikh came in the morning.

Sunday [14 August]

Mohamed & Omar always having rows which is a great nuisance - they are two different races & to quarrel. Kerr has the use
of a huge Fiat car of Kanoo's, very convenient as big as a Rolls. Motored out to the wireless to send a telegram, then called on
Seyed Ednan & then bathed in Idari. On the way back picked up Parke & brought him back to dinner. Rather hot.
