Went a long ride with Ham in the afternoon to Belad & across the ford to Tubli then back to Idari where we
had a bathe. A very pleasant afternoon. The last day of the school work exhibition. Still quite cool & a
pleasant breeze. No letter from M for some time. Posts erratic. HH much disapproving of uncle M going by
Cairo so he will have to go through Syria where there is serious trouble with the Sunnis & Syrians.
Wednesday 30th May
No parade. Appeal Court which lasted most of the morning then saw Dr Doeg & a Captain Martin, dealing
with labour.
Friday 1st June
Lazy day, did nothing much.
Macpherson came to dinner, APOC from Basra, a nice fellow who is down here about YK & the oil agency.
Had an amusing gossip about many different people put in these parts.
