IT’S well known that forgetfulness and confusion are some of the early warning signs and symptoms of dementia.

But there are smaller, quieter clues that occur in our day-to-day lives making them fairly easy to identify – if you know what to look out for.

How someone makes a cup of tea can be an indicator of brain health[/caption]

In the UK a study published in The Lancet earlier this year found that on current trends up to 1.7 million people could be living with dementia in England and Wales by 2040.

This is over 40 per cent more than previously forecast, so catching the disease early more important than ever.

If you are worried about a family member, dementia specialist, Dr Jane Pritchard, Admiral Nurse for The Good Care Group, has recommended trying a quick “cup of tea” test.

While not foolproof, it’s a useful indicator of how well someone’s mind is working – and whether their brain may be starting to decline.

“If you’re concerned and perhaps seeing some of these actions in the home environment, consider asking for a cup of tea,” the nurse told Surrey Live.

She added: “Asking someone to make you a cup of tea will allow you to observe the many steps it takes to make the perfect brew.”

“Have they boiled the kettle? In what order are they following the necessary steps? Have they remembered where the spoon drawer is? Is the tea bag still in there?

“Missed or misplaced steps could mean that an assessment might be helpful.”

If they really struggle, it might suggest something’s not quite right with memory or thinking skills.

It’s not a diagnosis, but it could be an early red flag.

Another popular test is the clock-drawing test, which the NHS has used for decades.

You ask someone to draw a clock face on a blank bit of paper.

They add the numbers one to 12, then draw the hands to show a time – like ten past eleven.

Sounds simple, but it actually takes a lot of brain power.

You need memory, planning skills and visual awareness – things that often fade when dementia sets in.

If the clock looks wonky or the numbers are in the wrong place, it could mean something’s wrong.

Get it right, though, and it almost rules dementia out, according to NHS guidance.

If someone finds it tricky, a chat with their GP is the next step.

IPHONE users have complained that a mysterious bug is blocking them from accessing their emails.

Numerous people have reported that Apple’s Mail app is crashing and freezing.

Some say they’re left with a blank screen when trying to access their email[/caption]

It’s thought that the issue may be affecting some iPhone devices with iOS 18.5 installed.

“My mail app is refusing to load anything and just shows a white blank screen,” one person wrote on Reddit.

“I have been having this issue all day. Very frustrating!” another commented.

“This has been happening for a few days now and it’s driving me crazy,” a third yelled.

Apple’s own service status page doesn’t show any problems being investigated currently.

There are some workarounds – though it only appears to work temporary and success is mixed.

Some say simply restarting their iPhone helped for a bit.

Others have had said disabling their iCloud account in the Mail settings worked.

However, this will mean that you can’t access iCloud Mail on your device.

For the time being, it might be better to wait and access your emails manually online via your web browser.

If you have an iCloud Mail account, just go to icloud.com/mail.

For those who have other email accounts and want to try disabling their iCloud Mail from the app for now, go to Settings > Apps > Mail > Mail Accounts.

Just remember you’ll need to add it back again after if you rely on iCloud Mail.

IT’S a hard life being part of Hollywood royalty – and this nepo baby pop star-in-the-making wants to make sure everyone knows it. 

But can you guess who this star’s famous family are?

In a cheeky parody of life in the limelight, new single A-Listers gives the highs and lows of being rich, from someone who has lived in it from the start. 

Romy Mars, 18, dropped the song and music video this week, with A-Lister’s lyrics talking about how empty fame and fortune actually is. 

She croons in the first verse: “Grant all of my wishes, riches to riches, and one day I’ll be bored with everything that I’ve got.

“Get out of fancy clothes right after they get the shot, Recreate scenes from Titanic on a flying bridge yacht.” 

Romy knows the feeling better than most thanks to her famous family on both sides of her genetic line. 

Her mother, Sofia Coppola, is a film director best known for Lost in Translation and Virgin Suicides. 

She follows in the footsteps of her own father, the legendary Godfather director, Francis Ford Coppola. 

Romy’s father is French musician and Phoenix frontman, Thomas Mars, whom Sofia met on the set of the Virgin Suicides in 1999 but got together with in the late 2000’s. 

The pair have been married since 2011, and have two daughters, Romy and Cosima, both of whom have picked up their creative flair. 

In the accompanying music video, Romy is seen being primped and pampered for a photoshoot, in between scenes of a runaway marriage, fighting through a crowd of paparazzi cameras, and spending a day by a pool in a mansion. 

“I love this golden sunny West Coast, sceney plastic world,” she sings. “I miss being a real girl, sure, but I’m not a real girl anymore.” 

After watching the video, fans commented that it reminds them of Paris Hilton’s music career. 

Her launch into music comes two years after she went viral TikTok, making a vodka pasta sauce while declaring: “I’m grounded because I tried to charter a helicopter from New York to Maryland on my dad’s credit card because I wanted to have dinner with my camp friend.” 

The video racked up millions of views before it was eventually deleted, with her parents banning the then-16-year-old from having public social media accounts. 

She’s since leaned into her privileged image, releasing an EP last year titled Stuck Up.

DEVELOPING the staying power required to go the distance will be essential if Waterford are to maintain their upward trajectory.

That is the assessment of skipper Emma Murray ahead of this weekend’s TG4 All-Ireland Ladies SFC opener against Dublin.

Murray and her team-mates were on course to deliver Waterford’s first Munster title in 23 years in the recent final against All-Ireland champs Kerry.

The Déise held a 0-10 to 0-6 lead entering the closing stages but had their hearts broken as Danielle O’Leary and Mary O’Connell netted late goals.

Murray told SunSport: “Obviously you’re a bit raw after losing a game like that when you know you’ve left a bit of silverware behind you.

“But you eventually see positives from the performance over 40, 50 minutes.

“We’ll certainly have to take huge learnings from it and bring them into our All-Ireland campaign. I suppose it’s about closing out games.

“The momentum shifted to Kerry in that last ten minutes and we struggled to get it back.

“The key message within the panel is the importance of making sure you’re performing for 60-plus minutes.

“The game isn’t over until that whistle goes. You have to sustain your performance until you get there.”

Despite that disappointment, Waterford are a team on the rise.

Wins over Mayo, Tyrone, Kildare and defending champions Armagh helped Tomás Mac an tSaoir’s side to a third-place finish in NFL Division 1.

They also advanced to the provincial decider by getting the better of a Cork team who eliminated them from Brendan Martin Cup contention last year with a ten-point win at the quarter-final stage.

Murray acknowledged: “We finished fourth in Munster last year so getting to a Munster final was huge progress for us.

“For there to only be two points in it against Kerry, and in the round-robin series it was only a point.

“Competing like that with the All-Ireland champions is absolutely where we want to be.”

A TEENAGER has died in a horror single-vehicle crash involving a pick-up truck in Co Kildare.

The incident took place on the Barrettstown Road in Newbridge shortly after 8pm last night.

The young man, who is aged in his late teens and was a passenger of the pick-up truck, was taken to Naas General Hospital and pronounced dead a short time after the crash.

The Coroner has been informed and a post-mortem examination is expected to take place in due course.

A second man in his late teens, who was driving the vehicle, was taken to Tallaght Hospital for treatment of non life-threatening injuries.

There were no other injuries reported.

Gardai have closed the road to all traffic since the incident last night.

Local diversions have been put in place and drivers have been urged to allow extra time for their journey.

Garda Forensic Collision Investigators will examine the scene of the incident this morning.
