St Andrews Night dinner at the RAF sergeants' mess - a gloomy place & rather a gloomy party. Sat next to
Mrs Summerville & Mrs RB, one man got very tight & was led out by his wife followed by a friend - he
would sing during GWRS's speech - which was quite amusing. Dancing after dinner - of a sergeants mess
type.
Friday 28th November
Went to Jidda via Budeya taking Rusty - he & I stopped at Om as Sabaan & we planted seeds - or rather got
the ground in order for doing so. The house is not finished. Had a good look round at Jidda. I now have 13
goats including kids & 2 more expecting. All seemed well & the electric light working excellently. Spent
the night at Jidda, R slept in the little dressing room. He seemed to enjoy it.
Saturday 29th November
Returned from Jidda, very gray & rough.
