Fire!
#23
Years ago I was sprinkling clothes to roll up and place in the fridge in preparation for ironing later in the day. The kitchen had 3 huge bay type windows and it was a gorgeous summer day. All of a sudden I saw smoke curling up out of the center of the pile yet to be sprinkled. Of course I put it out but I called the fire dept for an explanation and wad told the water in the soda pop bottle I was using as a sprinkler acted as a prism and the sun, streaming through the windows and sprinkler had started the fire.

Wowzers!!
I have a lamp with a built-in magnifier, and there is a sort of "lid" that snaps closed over the top of the lens. This is a good reminder to make sure to close that lid every time I am done using it!

Yikes I have just dashed through to my lounge to check that I have a cover on as it sits on the end of the table where the sun streams in, thank goodness I have a cover on, panic over but thanks for the heads up.
