Monday 27th July
Hot sticky day, the next 26 days, according to the stars, are the hottest time of the summer. Fort. Machine gun section
at Safra. Office, didnt go to court as too busy, various people came in, Sh Abdulla b Hamed about Mhq Biladga, sh
Khalifah re rations. Spent some time at the Customs discussing food supply problems. The position gets from bad to
worse. In the afternoon went to the Palace & polished the photographs & put the new one of the Duke & I into the
show case. One of the Kuwait Shaikhs is staying here, rather an undesirable but the Khalifahs are making a great fuss
about him. To the cinema in the evening, quite a pleasant film, Deanna Durbin.
