It’s that time of year when loads of street construction gets done before the academic year starts. At least, I hope it’s done before the academic year starts. 3rd Street is a bit of a mess, with loads of work meaning cars and bikes and even people can’t access it too easily, so we have to go around a short way, causing ‘chaos’. Hardly chaos, but the way people talk about it. It does give an opportunity to draw another construction machine though, I feel like it’s been a little while. Remember when my son was very young, I’d go out of my way to draw these machines, he loved those, we’d read books all about them before bedtime. Now he’s fifteen and a lot less interested in construction machines, but I still like to draw them. This one had an ominous looking pointed contraption on the front, like it is a machine designed for poking, or prodding. I’ve no idea what it does, and that’s how I like it, I never want these sort of things explained to me. If I were to go a big place full of these machines, the last thing I would want is for someone to tell me what they actually do, when I always imagine them as big mechanical monsters designed for destruction and, you know, poking.
