1935

Sunday [23rd June]

Court most of the morning. Old Shaikh Ali came in afternoon/ Worked in the garden, cut a lot of
branches down, didn't go out till late when I went round to Bridge at the Bank and on from there to dinner
in Bideford. Davies was the only other guest. Back is always very friendly. The SNO was there, I didn't
take to him, he seemed dull & not very intelligent, a little younger than Creagh but not as young as I had
been led to expect. We had a good dinner & then sat & talked. Very sticky night, lots of large water
snakes in the sea which showed up under the lights.
