'every day, every day'

These are today's pants. I photographed them as per usual and then went around the corner where a man with a headset on was smoking a cigarette and drinking something hot out of a mug. He looked me in the eye and said, 'every day, every day.' For that split second I wasn't sure whether he was talking on the phone so I just looked him in the eye and made an equivocating gesture. As I walked away he said nothing more so I guess he wasn't on the phone but commenting on the pants situation. 

more pants

 

I just feel like the explanation for this is going to be so banal I am going to regret having ever thought about it. Hopefully I never encounter the explanation. 

today's pants

 

Yesterday was a no pants day, and since it was also a public holiday, I think we could develop a theory the perp is a worker in the area, not a resident.

These ones particularly nasty

return of the tree pants

 

Well, actually these aren't returning they're new, and the tree never went anywhere, it's unable to do anything about this indignity. As mentioned, this is the third pair of pants I've seen here in a week. Will definitely be back tomorrow to see what develops. 

no pants today

Today I hastened to what has become known as the pants tree to see what pants were on the tree today. Disappointingly, the pants choice represented today was nudism. 

Should I go back tomorrow? 

Meanwhile, I was moved to check my average steps: 

I went looking just then for an article in the Guardian about some guy in England who dealt with a breakup and I think he walked 15k steps a day, but I might be minimising the figure (which is why I wanted to find the article). Anyway I know that 10k is the reputedly healthy amount, to which I can only say, if I didn't walk this much on average how fucking unhealthy would I be?! Because I am not exactly bouncingly radiant right now (nor am I ill). 

Looks like November was my lowest walking month of the last 12, which is strange, it wasn't very hot or anything, I can't really understand why that would be the case. I wonder how it's calculating the second half of April? So many questions. 
 

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 One is that yesterday, there were a pair of women's track suit pants in this same place, and they have now been replaced by these trousers.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.
