Drove out to Awali to return some things to the TTs & stayed on to dinner. Had a very pleasant time, Bill &
Roselle in good form. Only snag was the heat, electric fire on & very stuffy.

Wednesday 10th January

The Police went for a run & I went out to Senobis & back by Suk al Kharmis, a pleasant morning but rather
warm. Returned through the market, it is extraordinary how late people are in coming to business, many
shops still closed at 9 AM. Sh A came in to deal with appeal cases, of which we have rather an
accumulation. Two were between his own relations & his comments & asides on them were very funny,
there were some quite interesting cases among them. Sh A stayed till late. Annual Church Meeting in
afternoon, 14 people from Manama attended & only 9 fron Awali, a bad show. Dodds was not more
tiresome than usual & we got the usual business through quite rapidly, then a cocktail party at Airways, I had
the chance to talk to one or two people about the race track & the golf course. Quite a pleasant party, Mrs
Harrison back from USA full of praise for BOAC who brought her from Lisbon to Bn. A new RAF nurse &
another from Awali.
