Busy day in office, saw various people. Galloway rang up to say that Dick Snow got the silver KIH and
Smith an MBE - I really think I prefer
Didnt go to Jidda as such a gale blowing. Drove out beyond Rafaa. Dick Snow came in to dinner & I played
over the new gramaphone records on his machine - which is a poor one.
Friday 14th June
Spent most of the day in the garden cutting grass & working on the edges of the beds. The new square of
lawn is very green & successful.
In afternoon drove round to Kozabeia & took photos of HH ponies which were looking in perfect condition.
There were a lot of baby camels there too feeding but I had no more films for them.
An eclypse of the moon, a great noise around the place of people praying in the mosques & bands of children
running round shouting. Sleeping on the roof, quite cool & pleasant but very noisy at night owing to the
amount of traffic.
