Friday 23rd October
Did nothing much all day - painted, gardened, took a drive in the evening.
Very damp & rather hot.
Saturday 24th October
Fort, office. Got up rather early & went to Jidda in afternoon & later had a big supper party, about
two dozen people. All seemed to enjoy it very much. There was a full moon & the dinner was
excellent. Some took the dog out to course but hopeless trying to get hares out at night.
We stayed the night.
Sunday 25th October
Got back in the morning in time for breakfast & not much later than normal. Office, a great business
about a case where a man was allowed to export 50 bags sugar and took 100, shows slackness on the
part of the customs which I suspected before. DC came in to call in the evening, as he always does
after a party - he seemed sulky.
Monday 26th October
Took M round bazaar, ding.
