Rode, Shaikhs came in as usual. HH very bright, he doesnt seem to talk so much about Zubara now which is
a mercy. He discussed at length Sh M & Sh A, both having come & complained that they were not getting
enough, Sh M 32/- & Sh A 150/- & they have incomes of about £3000 & 2000 a year! Free of tax.
In the afternon went out to Muharraq & looked over some stuff that is being sold, by the RAF, there was a
certain amount that we took mostly building materials as usual took much longer than I expected seeing it.

Rode, went round the water garden, it is getting on slowly. Went to see Jackson about the increase in the
Civil List - there is going to be a real blow up about it.
