Got most of my annual report done.
Quite pleasant weather, usually a breeze though in the evenings rather sticky.
Tuesday 27th May
Rode.
Shaikhs as usual, had a meeting with the merchants re Landing Coy didnt get much further. Also saw
Baharna leaders re municipal taxes - HH gave them no encouragement & they left looking sour - they are
never happy unless they have something to complain about.
Went over to see Pelly after the meeting to discuss the matter. Saw Ahmed Omran, he stayed till 2.
Slept after lunch then to the water garden, to Sadar taking some clothes and to see the gymkhana tank which
is getting on well.
An American called Case called, interested in archaeology & later - very late, TTs with a couple called
Harris from Awali, quite passable people. They had lately been in Switzerland.
