things at that geelong vintage market you know the one, yesterday

 

In case you didn't know, Saxil Tuxen (part of 'Tuxen and Miller') was a significant part of my PhD thesis and is a subject of future work, too. I was not aware of this estate which presumably dates from 1935 which was the centenary of the establishment of Melbourne, and certainly that's the first mention of it I can find in the newspapers. Anyway this is overpriced for something both ugly and water damaged. 

The next two things are revolting but I really think I have to toughen up because there are bad times ahead, badder than current times. 

warning gross adult content

This is not the adult content precisely though I suppose it depends on your adult imagination. Two things about this, which I saw this morning at I guess around 5:30 am, piss me off. One is that yesterday, there were a pair of women's track suit pants in this same place, and they have now been replaced by these trousers. I'm so irritated that I didn't photograph the pants yesterday. I am also annoyed that of course I will have to go back tomorrow morning to see what's there then. This by the way was in Gracie street North Melbourne - that's the dog park in the background. 

This was Perry last night in the doorway. 

This was him this morning when I got up. That's his water bowl. 

On Sunday we went to Solomon Heights to take pictures for a lecture I'm giving in a few weeks. In this one Perry's stance makes the background look fake - IMO. 

In this image, Melbourne just looks fake, off there in the distance. 

And this is whatever. I didn't look in the crate. 

Here's the gross thing. So, for my sins I follow Gyles Brandreth on facebook. Yes, I know he was a tory politician (but you know, Britain is right royally fucked whichever way you look at it) - I just find him very funny, I can't help it. 

Anyway for the last few days Gyles Brandreth's stories have been playing out in my fb feed, and he's obviously been hacked (or he's gone mad or something) and there's just this gross soft porn, it's been like that for days now. I would love an explanation, because I went to his page (tbh I didn't even remember I followed him until I started seeing this stuff) and at least one person has left a comment telling him he's been hacked. But it's been days now, and he hasn't done anything about it (or perhaps his password's been changed so he can't?). Anyway, I don't really care, but I suppose I should unfriend him because despite me just saying I don't really care actually this bugs me.
