Steele, the Recton came half an hour late & de Grenier ran down the Electric Department in order to annoy
Steele. After dinner we sat & talked a mixed party but it went off quite well though Recton & Hakkem are
known to dislike each other.

Friday 7th [December]

Went down the Bazaar in morning, had a walk round & then to the municipal garden to look at the trees I
sent up there. They all seemed to be doing well. It was quite hot in the sun. In the afternoon we all
squeezed into the car, including Hamood, and went for a picnic on the top of the hill above Loozi and then
home by Budeya, a nice long drive. Mrs Russell & Schindler came in to call & later we called on the Hams.
