This is not a wind up but a very serious warning guys & girls, As I returned home this evening and entered the front room the Sun was streaming through the window, I immediately noticed a stream of smoke coming from the front of the sofa!!!
SHMBO had left a small makeup mirror on the coffee table, the Sun was reflecting off the magnified portion of the mirror and focused on the front of the sofa.
Fortunately it is a leather sofa and not a fabric covered one otherwise it would have almost certainly have been in flames well before I arrived home. I was soooo fecking lucky. Just goes to show how a little thing like a mirror a vase or glass ornament in the wrong place can have deadly effects.
