....................THE GIRL
NEXT DOOR
Alice TreloarQ I like to fool around on the
living room couch, but she
just rolls her eyes. It’s the bed
or nowhere. How come? RHBecause it’s easier to stretch into
the starfish position lying in bed,
RH. That, and there’s also a good
chance you had last night’s beef
vindaloo on the same cushion
that your gran sat on to celebrate
her ninth decade. Then there’s
the matter of unexpected visitors,
prying neighbours and noise
pollution. Entering the boudoir,
she’s checking in for sexy times
(or prepping for sleep, nobody’s
perfect), so go with what works.Q I know couples who
schedule date-and-sex
nights. Seems unromantic.
Am I wrong? KEAin’t nothing wrong with
punctual hanky panky, especially
if you’re time poor. Sure, it
can suck out some of the
spontaneity, but the alternative
isn’t any better: involuntary
celibacy. Mix n’ match your date
agenda – Monday: YouTube
karaoke; Tuesday: pretend to
be tourists; Wednesday: forage
for mushrooms. And so on. In
other words, get creative as a
couple. Ditto for the sex. Try new
positions or revive old tricks
that were in hot rotation at the
beginning of your relationship.
Think of planning as giving you
something to look forward to.CLEAR YOUR AIR
The sleek air purifier zaps
allergens and pollutants
to improve your air
quality and can be
operated remotely via the
Dyson Link App. Added
bonus: it doubles as a
heater and fan.

All products at Harvey NormanIf you like to climb mountains, brave raging streams
or slide down dunes, all without breaking a sweat,
or making any effort at all, then the spectacularly
clever new Land Rover Discovery is the giant
vehicle for you.
With its seven-seat interior - swathed in luxury
and bristling with technology - you and six full-
sized adult friends can tackle cliff climbs and
boulder bashes that would have been hugely hard
work, even for blokes with beards, thick socks and
poor personal hygiene, back in the day.
The new “Disco”, as people like to call this
legendary SUV, is fitted with something called All
Terrain Progress Control, which is basically cruise
control for off-roading. Point it at something
impossible looking, take your feet off the pedals
and the big, bold-looking Land Rover will climb it,
or smash straight through it, using software that
senses the terrain you’re on, and how much grip
you’ve got, and then adjusts its power and torque
accordingly. And does it all 100 times per second.
It really is an almost unbelievable example of
effortlessness, as we found out at its Australian
launch near Uluru recently.
And that’s just one of its party tricks.
Land Rover calls this “the Digital Discovery”,
because it’s all about connectedness, including
nine USB points and a wifi hotspot that can host upto eight devices simultaneously. Got a trailer or a
boat, but lacking the man-skills to reverse it in front
of other blokes? Fear no more: the Discovery
offers Advanced Tow Assist, which allows you to
take your hands off the wheel and reverse using a
rotary dial and a screen, just like a video game. But
you can pretend you’re doing it, and you’ll look like
a genius.
Incredibly, the new car even comes with two
four-cylinder diesel options, for better fuel
economy. But you should really opt for the V6 if
you’ve got hairs on your chest.
The Discovery has been on sale for more than
27 years, shifting more than 1.2 million units
worldwide, and is famous for its rough, tough
outside and luxurious insides. But this new one is a
big leap forward again.
