Hello every one thanks very much for support.

I enjoy doing this.  I do like cooking as you all know but this does save me standing for long periods.

Do get a lot of pain.

No need to be on the hob worrying about if this going to be cooked.

I am safe and clean this does help.

I do and have done forgotten had a pot on .

Senior moments.  Doe happen unfortunately, even to me.

Easy straight in to a slow cooker this morning.  Evening meal for tonight.

I will be putting some more on.

Thanks very much.

Take care.
