1945

a ridiculous article in a paper about the Shaikhs of Bn declaring war on Hitler by a letter taken by some
English tourist. Y. Fakroo about case with Kh b Sulman. Went to see off the TTs on the aerodrome, sea
plane, flying to England due there tomorrow evening only one night en route. Worked in office till late. In
the afternoon spent some time at the Palace again where the work was being put out & then went to Senian
hoping to bathe but found tank empty. Hot evening, sleeping on the roof.

Sunday 27th May

Girls School needlework show.

Busy morning, saw various people & took Pelly up to the Palace for a pre-view of the schools show, he
seemed only moderately interested & does not I think know much about work embroidery. Talia also
present. Went to the customs.

Met a Brigadier Mackay who used to be in the Gulf in the old days. Spent the afternoon at the Palace at the
Girls Schools annual work exhibition, a great deal of work & much extremely nice stuff. Crowds of people
came & they seemed to be selling most of the work. The Navy bought copiously & also the RAF & as usual
many people wanted to buy the things that had been sold. Meant to bathe after the show but didnt get away
till 8pm. The show was certainly a very great success. & all were enthusiastic in praise of it.
