Office. Fort, parade rather early, 5.30 - 6.30 so I dont see very much of it. Bird came in for some time to
discuss the Jufair accident case & various other matters, then went to the customs.
In the afternoon I went out in the new launch as far as the Sitra anchorage & saw the causeway they are
making there which I had not seen for a long time. Very pleasant on the sea & nice & cool.
Mylrhea came in to dinner & we went to Awali to see Re-union in France, a very good war film about Paris
during the occupation, after the stories that AVM Stafford told I realise that the spy plots of movie pictures
are not at all incredible, I used to think they were.
Wednesday 15th August
Sh A & Khalifah came in, the latter is so bright during Ramadhan that I feel he does not fast. Spent some
time at the Agency discussing V. Day - as usual no news has come through though at home they celebrate it
today & tomorrow, decided on Thursday & Friday. Owing to Ramadhan it makes no real difference.
