Friday 21st March
To Jidda in the morning. A lovely day, quite hot in the sun, went by launch as the sea was absolutely calm.
Put in some cuttings of shrubs round the tank & had a walk round then sat outside working on my annual
report, finished the section on the diving industry. Worked in the afternoon & then we went for a walk
before dinner. Beautiful weather. Played the gramaphone before & after dinner - a good catch of fish in the
trap, had fresh fish for lunch & dinner & excellent tomatoes from the garden.
Monday 24th March
Fort
Court, a lot of cases but we got through them all & I came back to see a man who has come here about
building the new place for the PR - or whatever he is to be called, a very common young man.
Meeting of Public Health committee about quarantine. Rather long winded.
