[Magdalen] Great octopus tonight!

Well, I thought so. You could actually see it's thought process, "Oh crap,
this is an even worse place, let me go back where I was before and take my
chances". When moving across the floor of the pool the octopus was
completely exposed, more so than in the deeper (but still exposed) area it
had fled to, so it looked very much as though a costs/benefits calculation
was going on!!

I eventually persuaded a reluctant Evan to leave "Octo-bro" in peace under
her rock. He's 13 now and has turned into a real teenager most of the time,
but sometimes he's just the same as he has been since he could walk and
talk, i.e. always ready to dramatise a situation and to turn anything into
his new BFF.
