Maddams & Bill came to call in the evening.

Friday 18th April

Howling shamaal, big seas & dust blowing. Worked in the morning & spent the afternoon at the sports on
the police parade ground - an unpleasant day & rather a dull afair, only half a dozen Europeans came & not
many other people, Hay looked in for a while. The TTs to dinner also Grant & Schooling, Roselle
complained of the intense cold at the sports - I wearing thick clothes & walking about kept warm, yet a few
days ago it was really hot. Dinner went off quite well owing to Rozelle, Bill was off colour, Grant always
very quiet & Schooling naturally dull. They left at 10. Wind lashing at night & I feared trees would come
down.
