Monday 5th June

In court most of the morning, dealt with liquor cases. Drove to the Portuguese Fort & saw the excavations
here, they look like an arab style building but a tomb in centre. Bathed at Sanyan.

Dined at Thornburgs & then to the concert, a very nice programme.

Tuesday 6th June

Fort. Office. Packer came in, asking questions re concession. Holmes man Ashraf is still telling him that all
is not yet fixed. He told me that Cadman wrote to Holmes that the whole thing was uncomprehensible &
someone pulling the company's leg. Sh Abdulla came round about meeting to collect funds for Palestine &
also discussed news from Kuwait & Qattar.

Rode in afternoon, to Senobi & back by the shore, with Bush. Then bathed at Sanyan & dinner at Agency,
Thornburgs & the new SNO were there, quite pleasant but I am not impressed by the SNO, very dull.

Wednesday 7th June

Stayed in bed all day with a tummy upset, caused I think, by going to sleep with no cover under the fan.

Thursday 8th June

Stayed indoors all day. King's Birthday. HH called at Palace. Thornburgs left by plane, he & Rusty looked in
on their way to the pier. Back came round in the evening. Windy day - I am going to Hawar tomorrow.
