    Sorry Loanranger, have had a good look. Can't get the Sunday Express for that date.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Like this but on a wall in a dark corner of a bedroom (otherwise useless space between the wardrobe and the door to the en-suite) rather than above a basin. It's at the right height for seeing yourself full length when standing.
    but can you turn it on and off by waving your hand underneath?
    I think....

    "Alexa, turn on the light."
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    If you have Alexa on your Echo, Siri on your iphone and Cortana on your laptop, do they all tell each other what to do?

    I can either reach down and wave my hand under it, or I can wave a foot under it and do it that way. It also has a "shaver" socket underneath where I can plug in the toothbrush charger - handy because neither of the bathrooms has one, so I've been having to plug the toothbrush charger into a mains adaptor elsewhere in my bedroom since moving into this house 6 years ago.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Lydia, in what type of circumstance would you wave your foot under it?

    We have mirror lights like this above the sinks in our bathroom, turning them on with your feet would be a challenge. Lydia's are taller and lower, turning in and off with a foot rather than bending and using your hand seems to make sense.
    I think....

    What is "creamed corn"? Sounds like a corn version of mushy peas! Yuk x 2.
