Sunday 9th April

Easter Sunday.

RAF Chaplain here so had a celebration, only 15 people as they had
services elsewhere. GP came. Called with HH at Agency & then to Jufair,
a visit lasting nearly two hours. The SNO was very pleasant, a nice man.
Walked all round the place & then sat on veranda of SNO's house.

Went to Mhq with the horses in the afternoon & ran them over the course.
The filly did very well. Marcus came with us. Later the Gunns came in
also L. Hamilton & another man. GP came to dinner, he was very amicable
& asked why I had not given myself any war allowance, also suggested
raising my Prov Fund by 100/- from 1st of year. He didnt look well.
Discussed the Steele affair.
