1945

Saturday 15th February

Fort.

HH came in, in a poor temper, but didnt stay long, fortunately. Went up to the Palace & saw some of the
stuff we bought from the navy, quite a good lot. Discussed the air question, HH talked lightly of buying
three or four aeroplanes and running a local gulf line, he didnt realise many other factors enter into such a
scheme.

Drove in the afternoon out to Rudam al Kawari and back through the gardens. Lovely weather.

Had the Balls, Biron Browns & Smiths to dinner, the party went very well most of them being quite lively.
We had Bridge after dinner & some very good games. Definitely one of our more successful parties - still
there are some people one has who are so difficult to mix & who dim any party.
