Dinner at the Mespers - a very tiresome affair, all supposed to wear old clothes. Rather a

flat party & then dancing at the club. Did not enjoy it.

Friday 9th February

M went to a sort of prayer meeting at Mission Church. I went up to the Fort & spent an
hour looking round the stables. Nice day.

P.M. Movies & then to tea with Phillips. A long bit about Bahrain on wireless in Arabic &

some in English, too, they quoted much of HHs (my) speech which sounded more impressive
from London than it did here.

Saturday 10th February

Office. Sh M came in asking for a loan. Vallance re his newspaper article.

Drove out to Budega & went over the garden, doing well but very backward.

Dinner at Agency, heavy rain during dinner. Bridge.

Sunday 11th February

Office, busy morning. Went over ard's annual reports on food control.
