Towards the end of this morning's constitutional walk, I changed to
the sunny side of the road for the last half 'klick'. Passing over
someone's driveway, I caught sight of a series of small circles
scratched into the 40plus year-old concrete cross-over. I know the
concreting was done at roughly the same time as ours... but, had never
seen the circles before. Perhaps it was just a fluke angle of the early
morning sun?
Obviously scribed by a youngish hand whilst the
cement was wet, I was struck by the naively humorous drawings and, the
accompanying tag-line which reminded me of the series of 'my family'
stickers which you see on the back window of many, many private motor
vehicles these days (an idea which, I believe, netted a fortune for a
clever female graphic designer/mum living somewhere in country
Victoria(?) when it hit a chord on the internet).
Further idle reflection created today's cartoon. (Curses!) If only I'd noticed the 'circles' a few years ago myself!
