1945

To Jaw in the afternoon - a very bad road & bad for the car, one of the springs damaged, Then to the TT.s &
on to a party at the Agars, outside in their little garden - a great crowd of rather queer people, some of the
women looked very odd & all had bits & pieces in their hair - an American fashion.

Sunday 21st April

Easter Sunday

Went to the RAF church at Mhq taking Miss Adamson, quite a nice service but the Chaplain had a very queer
accent. Spent some time with Packer discussing Qatar affairs, he is very humorous. He showed me two
letters to the Agency about HH's complaint that they were enlisting men from here to work in Qatar, also
about rates of pay etc. Saw Mohd Omran & Mansoor about building a room on roof of the hostel, also Ali
Abool about land compensation. Roselle came to lunch & she & M went to Mission Church. After tea did
the beginning of a sketch at Gasari. It was looking very pretty - car springs damaged yesterday & though
said to be mended are not right yet. Rather a warm day.
