Had a celebration in the morning, 11 people, quite a good congregation. The service was at 8.30 so I was
rather late getting down to work. A bitterly cold day, didnt go out. Office all the morning, saw various
people. Hick at Qattar, must have had a foul trip as there was a gale blowing all night.
Had dinner in the drawing room in front of the fire. Sh Abdulla came in, wants permission to export tea & so
get some cash.
