!g Drove to Hedd & then, being low tide, across to Hala, the island off Arad. Had never been down there
before. There is a sort of natural causeway there dry at low tide. On my way back a boy rushed out from a
side street on a bike & he the bike landed on top of my car, he was not hurt but the car was dented. Very

Tuesday 6th August

Tunnicliffe to Jidda

Rode, out to Houra & back by the Palace, the new wing is still not finished, they are very slow over it. Quite
a cool day, rather misty earlier on & later a shamaal. Saw nobody in the office, for me Ramadhan is almost a
holiday, am working on my 20 yrs annual report and much enjoying doing it.
