Fort. A strong gale blowing & very high tide the sea tearing over the road & water covering much ground on
the front. Too strong a wind to be pleasant. Sleeping indoors. Shaikhs came in. Much talk as to whether or
not the Amir Saud & 11 brothers will accept HH's invitation to come here - he thinks he must ask them but
hopes they wont come. A very busy morning wanted to get down to customs but no time.

Took the dog to Mhq & gave her a bath in the sea, sand blowing & not very pleasant.

Anderson & Mrs A came in, she looking very smart & very soignee & animated - Wakelin came to see me at
the same time.

Should have dined with Fakroo but made a muddle as I thought it was Wednesday. He rang up at about 9 to
know if I was coming - I wasn't.
