Fort. Parade was 5.30 - 6.30 which means getting up rather early, however I managed to see the far end of
the parade. In the early morning it is quite chilly on the roof now & the day temperature is not unpleasant.
Worked in the upstairs office. Went to see Parker about HH being difficult over selling him land & then to
the customs, there always seems to be a good deal to do there. Worked Hosha in the afternoon then went to
Sanyan & did a pencil sketch before bathing, later to a cocktail party at the Leighs, on their veranda. Rather
a tiresome affair, & lot of RAF & bits & pieces. They had some prawns which I thought tasted queer. Japan
peace not yet settled seems to hang fire. Jufair car ran over two Indian soldiers & hurt them badly & went on
without stopping, said to be driven by an officer - Webster.
