the office. A good many people came in. The PR returns to here from Qattar tomorrow. Tennis &
Bridge in afternoon. Later Saul & Sossage & another RAF man came over with Cole & when the other
people had gone they presented a watch to the taxi driver who saved a RAF fellow from drowning in
Idari. A M... from Abadan came & asked if he could open a cinema here - I said no - Davies told me of
an extra oil boat, but a small one, which is taking one cargo of oil to Eygpt. Hot, the summer has come
with a rush. Played Bridge inside as it was cooler under the fan.
Friday [7th June]
Got up extremely late, very hot night. Decided to move on to the roof. PR arrived from Qattar. Didn't go
out in the morning but went out to Sakhrir in afternoon to arrange for the Shaikh to call on PR tomorrow.
