Drove to Hedd

Monday 29th July

Everyone thought it would be the first of Ramadhan but it was not so, didnt go to the Fort but went to court
where I sat with Daij till Ali came later, dealt with a few criminal cases & then went with Smith to the RAF
canteen to see some chairs & tables being sold there. I stayed till almost sunset, returning the sea road was
full of people looking for the moon which was seen later on & the usual guns went off. Very hot & sticky in
the morning but quite a strong breeze in afternoon, though a hot one. Haj Ahmed came in with some local
gossip.
