Tuesday 25th March
HH came in, he was not really expected & I was busy doing some entries with Sh Daij. He was in very good
form. Discussed the courts & the quarrel between Ali b Khalifah & Ahmed b Hamed, also various other
affairs.
Wednesday 26th March
Spent most of morning at the Fort. Looked over the barasti for a film the medical people are going to do
Rance & Bradley came to tea & we finished the handicaps for the races, I copied them all out & took them to
give to L Smith.
Enormous cocktail party at the Smiths, lovely day, quite cool, a strong shamaal. I dislike these parties
exceedingly, however its a good way of polishing off a lot of people who one has to do something about.
Hay very sour about the races.
