Dobbs & a new Airways man called, the latter seemed a very common young man.
Went down town to see the Muharram business, difficulties about lights & the black out, but eventually
arranged it. Didn't stay long.
Wednesday 5th February
No parade.
Busy day in office. Shs came in & talked about more money for HH - a tiresome matter. Albans went to
Qattar.
Thursday 6th February
Holiday
Gardened in the morning & went for a drive P.M.
Went down the town after dinner but didnt stay very late, the processions looked much better with torches
than with petroleum lamps which owing to lighting restrictions we had to forbid.
