Overslept so didnt ride. Very misty morning but cool wind. Spent a long time at the Fort dealing with
Orderly room & cases. Not a very busy day, people are beginning to talk of leaving things till after
5J Ramadhan. Didnt go out in the afternoon till we went to Awali to dine with Thompson & to a picture called
Laura, a very good one. The car did not behave as it should & the cap on the water pipe came off. It gets
! very hot.
