Called on Sh Sulman PM & discussed the case of Ali b Abdulla - drunk again &
crashed in car.
Dined with Gunns. Bridge. A fight in the town between the Muharram procession,
great excitement. Went down when I got back from Bank, by then all was quiet.
Tuesday 27th January
Holiday.
Went to the Matems after dinner, all very quiet, the Persians & Bh Rajab said they
didnt want to go out on the 10th & were evidently sulky. Ahd b Solleem, who never
goes, said he would process.
Wednesday 28th January
10th MUHARRAM
A few rather poor processions, no swords, chain beaters in fact the whole show
shorn of its excitement. All very decorous.
Drove to Muharaq in morning later on.
Dined TTs, cinema. Poor picture.
