Fort, went to hospital, getting on slowly. Some cases in Orderly Room. A
disturbed morning, lunch Sh Abdulla at Muharraq at 11.30, PR. BT & W. Ate in a
tent, quite pleasant. Looked at RAF camp & aerodrome afterwards. Rode in
afternoon by shore to P Fort & back by country, a lovely day, Nerooz, the Persian
holiday, lots of people picnicking in gardens everywhere. M went over to see
Ayesha - about her money affairs, of course she is feeling the pinch & 330/-
doesnt seem enough. First rehearsal of Mr Pim, rather confused as the people dont
know where to stand or move. They dined here & we rehearsed later, Hutchings
excellent as Mr Pim. Quite a hot day.
