Fort. Office, busy morning.
Drove round the new road from Schlah over to Budega road, a pleasant circle. Bathed Senian, almost chilly.
Dinner Agency, GP & Metcalfe, good dinner & wine, pleasant evening. Listened to news.
Friday 22nd August
No 1 cow calved.
Spent the day at Sibeliat most of the time in the sea. Very pleasant & delightfully cool, the shamaal has
now been blowing for about ten days. Came back in the evening via Ciali, the road better there than it used
to be.
Saturday 23rd August
Police change over so didn't go to fort. Cool day again. Went down to education office, find that Vallance
seems to have removed most of the files. Rather startling news from USA re Iran today & our troops
massing on Iraq border, Metcalfe wouldnt believe it but eventually found I was right.
Didnt go out pm, dined with Gunns & to the cinema, poor film. Marvelously cool day.
