          garden doing very well.  Terry came in to call on his way out to dine.  Owing to rough weather they have
          been unable to do any work.  Went down to the town cinema after dinner "Under Two Flags" quite a good

          film, very spectacular.

          Monday 13th March




          Fort.  A very heavy fog, an aeroplane that was trying to land here had to circle round for over an hour until
          the fog cleared for a few minutes.




          Went to see the Sunni Kadis, they aer very like three old sheep, discussed various matters, on every subject
          their views were stupid & retrograde.  Played golf, 18 holes, in afternoon.  Dined at the Agency & played
          Bridge.  Dame came to call in the evening.




          Tuesday 14th March



          Fort.  Rifle range.  Had a ride on the mare, she went very easily & has a good mouth, felt very stiff

          afterwards.  Spent all the morning working on accounts & annual report.  DG came in with some figures &
          Davies to call for the kit which is servant "borrowed" to go & be photographed, the naturs caught him in
          possession of it.  Stuart Wortly came in to talk about aerodrome precautions in Muharraq.  Warm day, quite
          a summery feeling.  Drove round about pm & to the hospital & then too a golf meeting and dinner with the
          Agars.  Sh Abdulla came in for a few minutes in the morning.




          Wednesday 15th March
