..... I had a few minutes to spare before collecting my sons from school and went upstairs to my room to do some chores. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw smoke rising from on top of a set of drawers............. my plastic sunglass case was burning!! I moved it quickly and realised that I'd placed a mirror near it at an angle, with the magnified side facing the window where the sun was streaming in!
I don't know what would have happened if I'd not been there - it could be that it would have just fizzled out, but since the case was on top of a booklet and very close to the curtains, I'm grateful that I was there!
( The irony is I'm so careful when it comes to anything that might cause a fire, but I didn't give it a second thought where I'd placed the mirror)
