Court, afterwards looked in at the customs.
A perfectly foul afternoon, strong shamaal & a lot of dust blowing.
Went round to the school after lunch & got some books from the library.
Tuesday 26th February
Didnt go to the Fort. Lovely day, quite chilly & a good deal of shamaal. A fire in the evening is very
welcome. Shaikhs, for once in a way we stayed clear of Zubara, as I produced a list of aggenda, a new plan
which HH seemed to like. The nasturtiums in the gardens are very lovely, I have great bowls of different
shades in the room. Reading an extremely amusing book, the Aesthetic Adventure by W M Saunt about the
arty people of the 90's. Went a ride with Marcus in the afternoon to Suk al Khamis and back, quite good
going & felt rather stiff, he & Helen & Lowe of the RAF came to dinner & afterwards we had some very
good Bridge, altogether a very pleasant evening.
