talking in his cabin & then went to the Ward Room for a little while. I actually remembered to leave
cards. In the afternoon I drove out to see the Police on camp at Budeya, they were out on the open sandy
hills behind the south end of the town, quite a good place. They seemed very comfortable & happy, I saw
them have their supper, which looked very good, then I went into Hussein Yatim's, having met him on the
way out, & drank tea with him & then had a bathe in the pool which was very nice. Got home in time for
dinner. It was pleasant out at Budeya. Hussein told me that his "young lady" is going away for a few
weeks. He is almost pathetically anxious about it all and kept on telling me that he hears that she is quite
pretty. I hope it comes off & is a success. He has told Holmes but apparently nobody else except his
aunt. Discussed programme for the review with Ali Mirjar.
