Yesterday Corinna, Mother and I went to Newquay aquarium - something I have been intending to do for about fifteen years. Whilst there we made friends with a female Pacific giant octopus. I really had no idea that they were so intelligent; she played with toys, interacted with her keepers on a personal level, and - on top of this - Max told me the other evening that there is now evidence that they actually dream (they appear to have RAM sleep).If they lived longer than five years, then the potential for development of these animals is frightning!

Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.
