Bit of, well, ummmm, new neighbours......... did not liase with fire department, they aren't home, to watch their fire pit, had to call 000 and get the horses out. The fire from they burning off, weeks ago, reignited, the fire was quite large I could hear it, and my horses were panicking.

Their paddock is literally on fire.

The winds are up, still.

Fire department is attending to it now, thank goodness.

Ha ha ha !

With the giant Bluewater shopping complex nearby, the big shops in Gravesend town centre [M & S, BHS, Woolworths etc.] have been replaced by the 'bargain basement' types [Poundland, The Pound Shop, Poundstretcher etc.] !

If even these are suffering, in the present retail climate, what hope for the future ?

All we will be left with are mobile phone shops, which seem to be flourishing...

I used to use Firefox as my browser of choice.

Then it started having problems playing videos.

With the upgrade to Windows 10 I had a new browser, Microsoft Edge available.

I switched to this & the videos played perfectly.

But then, when John [or whoever] posted audio files, it stated that 'that format is not supported' !

To listen to them, without downloading, I had to open Phoenix again using my old Firefox browser.

But lately, I see that they play OK in Microsoft Edge !

Progress !

I've used Chrome for years and never had any problems with anything. I don't even know what Microsoft Edge is.
