Friday 8th January
At Jidda
Spent most of the morning writing letters & files, pleasantly undisturbed
& good place for getting work done. Started a sketch after lunch of the
house on the cliffs but the sun went in & left the scene very colourless,
also it was very cold. Came back via Budega, a fierce stormy sunset,
looked like rain.
Saturday 9th January
No parade owing to change over. HH & Shs A & M came in & Wakefield came
over to call on HH who was very amiable & full of the good war news.
Gardened. M went to a committee meeting at Awali. Wakefield came in to
dinner & stayed till 11.30 - very late.
