1945

Cochrane came out to see me about a quite unimportant case, I met him at Om Sabaan.

Saturday 14th September

Returned from Jidda in the morning, a lovely day & pleasant journey back, by car from Budeya. Busy day in
the office. No letter for some time from M. HH didnt come in, Sh A came.

Dined with TTs, the Parkers were there & Dick & Cochrane & Sharp came in after the cinema, which had
Carmen Miranda, who I rather like to see, otherwise it was awful tripe - coloured. Took Ali as I thought he
would like the picture.

Sunday 15th September

Sharp had a celebration about 10 people came, He took the service quite well just "said a few words" and
had a hymn - both, I thought rather unnecessary. Office went down to the customs saw various people.
