Court in the morning, not very many cases but one in which the local Poet Laureate, a very objectionable
young man, was up for drinking, sent him to jail for 6 months.

Fort.
Shaikhs came in, HH in very good form as a result of his talks with Packer. While in the office a long letter
came from Galloway about Zubara HH paid less attention to it than I had expected and left the question of

Saw some men from BOAC about arrangements for Radar stations.
Dined with the TTs & went to the cinema, in spite of much wet & mud, it rained almost all the afternoon, a
slow gentle shower that did good to the garden. The cinema didnt work & after waiting half an hour they
announced no show - a bore.
