        The garden looked very nice, lots of fresh green leaves on the trees.                                         ---- BU

        At Jidda. Had my first bathe this year, in the sea & then in the pool & very pleasant too, spent most of the
        morning out in the sun & got well browned. A very hot dry day, what is known as simoon. Crossed soon             s
        after lunch to Budeya and spent the afternoon watching the school sports - mostly rather feeble but a very
        good drill show, no Europeans were present, I think our own people should have come, I suppose the sun last
        time put them off. It was extremely hot, 90 in the house which we kept shut & much more outside, after
        dinner thunder, lightning & some rain. The boys looked very fit & happy about 4 or 500 took part in the
        show. HH seemed to enjoy it, Sh M was rather superior, comparing it to show he attended in Cairo, Sh
        Abdulla appeared to like it to.
