Skegness Aquarium has made two discoveries:
1. Beanbag the resident octopus isn't a boy
2. She's just hatched about 400 babies
They're only tiny at the moment though, here's what they look like under a microscope:
It's not all happy news though. Octopuses start refusing food once they hatch eggs and die after a few weeks.
The staff at the aquarium say she'll be missed and they're doing all they can to make sure she's comfortable.

I was never one for geography, but this is the type of cake cartography I can get behind...

It was a good weekend for the county's history buffs, with about 1,500 people visiting Canwick, near Lincoln, to see archaeological remains dating back thousands of years.
Historians working along the route of the new eastern bypass have found remains dating as far back as the Neolithic period.
The finds include a Roman villa, a Bronze Age log boat and an Anglo Saxon cemetery.
It was a ticketed event and those that managed to get their hands on one were treated to guided tours of the various sites.
Lee Rowley, from the County Council, says there's been a lot of interest from local residents:

Prime Minister Theresa May is heading to what will probably be a rather tense meeting with Tory backbenchers this morning following her disappointing result in the general election.
It may have a been a bad night for Mrs May but in Boston and Skegness Tory incumbent Matt Warman massively increased his majority and saw off the then leader of UKIP, Paul Nuttall, in the process.
Brexit is an important issue in his seat; Boston delivered the highest Leave result in the country during the referendum.
Mr Warman says the national result means that negotiating a good deal is going to be more difficult:
Quote MessageI think it does make it more challenging. The fact that Theresa May's position within Europe and within the country is obviously different does make getting that best possible deal harder. It's now more important to get that working majority and get on with the job."
Matt Warman, Boston and Skegness MP

Offenders in Lincolnshire could be required to wear electronic tags that alert authorities if they drink alcohol.
The tags monitor the amount of alcohol in a person's sweat and they send the data to authorities through the internet.
The county's police and crime commissioner, Marc Jones is funding the project:
Quote MessageWe estimate around 25% of all offences include an alcohol element and 40% of domestic abuse cases. So it's a significant feature in crime. This is designed to keep people off alcohol and seek other help.
