Sunday 10th March

Saw various people.

M went to a school affair at Mhq. Meeting of race committee at Gray Mackenzies. Got quite a lot of points
settled & I was roped in as Hon Sec & to handicap.

Dinner with Y Fakroo, a most excellent meal, Persian cooking & chickens cooked in black sauce made of
pomgranate juice and apricots, Dick Snow & Dr Steele & a few old - mostly deaf - Arabs were the party - &
Leigh who as usual nearly lost his way coming there.

Monday 11th March

Fort. Court, dull cases but took a long time. Discussed races with Sh Daij. Got back rather late, saw Leigh
about cars. Went for a drive after tea & watched the B Police for some time doing stunts on horses & motor
bikes - rather like boys playing round. Dinner at the TTs & then to a very stupid amateur play, the 16th Jan,
