Wednesday 11th May

Office. Quite a lot of people came in, brought Kozaibi property for 120,000/-, perhaps a bit high. I think I

would have got it for less. Sayed Said came & stayed a long time. Abdulla & Sulman & also Holmes. On the
whole a morning of talk & little done.

Tennis & Bridge. The Phillips came in & played. Not many people, two tables for Bridge.

Thursday 12th May

Prophet's Birthday

Holiday. Coates & Serrcie came round in the morning to talk about petrol dumps for the RAF. Went up the
new minaret & took photos from the top of it, then up to the souk. Al Araba called on Steele at his office on
way back on way back. Felt unwell in afternoon & returned to bed with temperature which went up to 103.

Friday 13th May
