Day 1025 – 13th January 2010

Day 1025

It’s been a very windy day indeed, strong enough to pick up debris and rubble. Someone told me a house brick hit this window in the entrance. As I was walking down the street in town towards the post office, all kinds of things were flying around me, branches, signs, hats – I even saw a flagpole come down…

If I’d had more guts today’s picture would have been yet another example of weirdos in town. I saw a guy bending over, scrabbling around on the ground putting stuff into a bag. I was going to help him, he’d obviously spilt his shopping or something, when I noticed what it was he was picking up. Hundreds upon thousands of burger king ketchup sachets.

For some reason this man had decided to hoard these things, dropped them, then was embarrassingly picking them up before anyone would notice. I thought it perhaps best not to get involved, but I was so tempted to get a picture – I just couldn’t bring myself to stick my camera in his face at what was clearly a low point in his life.
