The funny thing is that my birthday is not quite over

The "benefit" of divorced parents living in different places is that you celebrate with each one separately and with my Dad and his mate being on holidays in Turkey at the moment (as they have been on my birthday for three years in a row now as I might add <_< ) I will celebrated with them next week.
Among other I got a can of silicon caoutchouc (which I need to create more moulds for land before time tin figures), some computer games, a supplement to the board game "settlers of Catan" (a game which I really like). I also got a voucher for the DvD of LBT 11 to be redeemed once the movie is released over here (a few more weeks at most I recon). My mum had written the voucher on the back of a photo she had taken during a vacation to Spain this summer. She had visited a place there where dinosaur footprints remained conserved in soil that must have been soft in their time while now it is hard as stone. Anyway, the picture shows some Iguanodon statues which they have placed there and those figures gave me an inspiration for the outward appearance of a character in my next LBT story. That character is supposed to look somewhat scary, but any drawings of him I made so far (based on Iguanodons we saw in LBT 3) let him look rather harmless. Those LBT 3 Iguanodons have a rather round snout while the snouts of that statues on the pictures are fairly pointed, which makes them look less harmless. This gift of an inspiration was not intended of course, but I value it high.
