their sailing boat with engine. Quite pleasant, H painted. Lovely day &
sea looking beautiful.

Returned from Jedda. HH came in. Busy morning. Lunch with Sh Abdulla
in his Garden, a very poor meal but scene attractive, sat in a gay
patchwork tent & green trees & vistas beyond it. Some sons present, one
looked drunk. Garden near Senobis.
Rode Muharraq with M.G. Hot coming back.
Dined with Snows, Bridge. A pleasant party.

Cocktail party at .

Rather late getting to court as I had a lot to get done. Dull cases.
Tackled the Scadi tilth case, the Wali is not far off imbecile & quite
unsuitable to administer so much money.
M took a day in bed.
