Had a celebration in the morning, 11 people, quite a good congregation. The sendee was at 8.30 so I was
rather late getting down to work. A bitterly cold day, didnt go out. Office all the morning, saw various

Had dinner in the drawing room in front of the fire. Sh Abdulla came in, wants permission to export tea & so
get some cash.
