Parental influence is not yet dead, it seems.

'Tis my younger daughter's 10th birthday today (and she has come down with a rotten cold, the poor lamb.)

For birthdays presents, she asked for and received the following (I think I'm detecting a theme here ...) :

Primeval Flying Rex;
Primeval S2 Abby and Sabre-tooth cat;
'Prehistoric Park' dvd;
'Jurassic Park III' dvd;
Night-vision goggles (like the ones the SF guys used in the episode with the giant spiders);
Wii Play; Bracelet; Junior RSPB subscription: Money.

Do you suppose the dinosaur thing is rubbing off? *g*

(Got to go - Flying Rex has just got stuck in a tree in next door's garden)
