G.B. came round in the evening, we went up to the Fort, then to Idari & then to bathe. After dinner went to
Jufair to cinema, Robin Hood, coloured, rather like a pantomine, very elaborate & some beautiful scenes but
all very juvenile. The Navy have a new set of films.

Thursday 3rd August

Fort. GB came up & played about with some of the young ponies on the lunging rope. Still cool weather,
only just over 90. Saw various people in the office, Campbell, Steele, Jones. The last is to go out to Awali &
act for Dame for a week or two till Storm returns. Dame going to Arabia & leaving the Company.

Drove round in evening, sea road & hospital & then bathed before dinner. Mures came to dinner & stayed
the night. Went with him to Jufair to see the cinema, quite good.

Friday 4th August

Saturday 5th August
