Sunday 13th May

Holiday - getting rather tired of holidays. Went to the Victory service at the Mhq RAF camp, a lot of people
there, all sorts, RAF, navy & civilians. Rather hot, service outside taken by the two chaplains, British &
USA. Various people came in in the morning, did some more house painting. Hot morning but cool & gray
in the afternoon. Went to tea with the Commodore & then out in his fast launch, very wet, rather a sea, took
my shirt off as I got so splashed. Ham was there, Pelly didnt come. Then bathed, the water seemed much
warmer in the tank than the outside air which was chilly. Stayed till nearly dinner time, really quite pleasant.
The Commodore is nice but not gifted with brains, rather like a schoolboy, mentally. Early to bed, very
sleepy. Lights still on.

Went out in morning to see an underground room under road behind Beladya which was being used as an
Arab brewery by a man in adjoining house connected to it by a tunnel.
