Attended a municipal reception after lunch & so was not able to go out to a cocktail party in the ship. Very
disappointing. Went for a drive in the evening & then to Bridge at the Russells. Very cold evening. The
ships both sailed at night. A pleasant visit but sad too about the big dinner party which all looked forward to.
Tuesday 22nd [January]
The office opened again after three days holiday - but not really a holiday for me. Busy morning dealing
with masses of work. In the afternoon M went out to Hussein's garden to have tea there, I gardened. The
Persian girl who Hussein wants to marry was there, & her family. M & Mrs Van Peussem went together.
