1945

Court, but not very many cases. Lunched with the Williams to meet the GOC RAF Egypt, Midhurst, & his
wife, quite pleasant, I liked her, not so young & very well done up. Quite a pleasant lunch, the Galloways &
Pelly were there. Heard that the Bishop is due tomorrow but later, at 7pm heard that he was to arrive at 8.
Went out to dinner on the new ship, with the Galloways taking them in our launch. They had a big cocktail
party on board & then a dinner, the TTs stayed on though not invited, the whole affair caused much gossip
and annoyance. The Wilsons got a passage on the boat to tomorrow. Neryan met the Bishop &
brought him to the house. He seemed in good form.

Tuesday 11th March

HH came in but not Sh A - he didnt stay long but came, apparently, merely to thank me for fixing up his
money affairs.

The Wilsons left by the new boat. Padre Wilson having gone to stay with Packer.

Went to Jufair to see a play done by RAF from Iraq - Rope, it was quite well acted for a change.
