Wednesday 21st February

Fort. Decided to use the new tower room as an office. Section doing M.G. on Fort range.

Shs A & S came in, talked mostly about Dubai. Wells called re Landing Coy - what he really

wants is a monopoly. Hot day, south wind. Marigolds fully out, a fine show. Drove pm &
then Golf committee meeting, secretary has resigned and Campbell leaving so we are rather

in a mess. H & P to dinner & cinema - Spawn of the North, about salmon fishing in Alaska - a
fine film. Nasty weather, 82 yesterday. Lipps called to tea to say goodbye.

Thursday 22nd February

Agency in morning, earlier H & I went out to meet C.S.

C.S very angry about HH's decorations, I don't quite see their point of view. I did not tell him
that the matter could have been stoppedif HW had said so - I don't think he explained this

either. CS very violent & abusive, altogether a most unpleasant affair, told him about the
idea of a medal from the Pope at which he was very excited & strongly opposed to it.

Office in morning.

Horrible hot south wind.

Went out to Safra in afternoon where the Horse & MG sections are in camp.
