Saturday 31 st August
Remarkably cool day, expected HH but didnt come. Office, spent a long time with Tunnicliffe & went over
west in court flat with him. Tried to dissuade him from resigning, Leigh is the reason & because she dislikes
being here so much. The flat looked very dingy. Drew in afternoon am doing several bazaar pictures some
quite successful. Letter from M, very heavy malaria. Drove to Mhq & saw the boys school, meant to go to
Hedd but road water logged. Bathed Sanyan, quite cold.
Sunday 1 st September
Still very cool. Office, a fairly slack morning, Sh Khalifa b Sulman came in & asked advice about buying a
car - why should I be interested? Yusef Fakroo about exporting dates & one or two other people. Didnt go
out in the afternoon, gardened, put in some flower seeds, rather early but an experiment.
