Rode. Court, nothing very interesting. Went round to see Rance after court & discussed car allocation
telephone scheme & one or two other matters. Galloway came in, he is always so queerly dressed, and we
went upstairs & had a drink. He seemed quite amiable but he has what is described as "an unfortunate
manner" his bridge is due on Wednesday.

In the afternoon went to Sh Ayeshas house with Snow Miss A & White & spent a long time there going over
all the rooms & arranging what they were to be used for. Navy had a cocktail party but no proper invitation
so didnt go.

Leigh returned in the morning & came in to dinner, White being out for dinner. He talked incessantly,
mainly about his house affairs in Cairo.

Tuesday 8th October

HH didnt come in. Busy in the office. Saw Yahan abnout land for building, they want to put up houses for
their staff instead of hiring, also, talked about the telephone scheme.

TTs to dinner. Rozelle went to sleep - with her mouth open. If women knew how unattractive it is they
would be more careful.
