It was more than a week after returning from our holiday that we had a "normal" Sunday - partly because we'd been returning home the week before (and were not well) and the week before **that**?  Oh, I was fighting exhaustion, trying to tidy up after [two markets](https://peakd.com/hive-106316/@fionasfavourites/two-markets-done-and-dusted-for-now) and get ready for our [trip](https://peakd.com/hive-106316/@fionasfavourites/the-great-getaway-gift).  It all seems so long ago!

So, feeling better and more rested, it was rather good to have a "regular" Sunday Weber chicken (from our friends who rear free range chickens), but we had dessert.

The most delicious chocolate brownie. Said by someone who is **not** a fan.

I served it with a dollop of locally made double cream yoghurt. Sanmari had told us that one is enough for two - it really was. And here's the thing:  they were especially commissioned for the wedding because the bridal couple discovered them on their regular trips to the area, and **always** stop by and share one.
 
For South Africans in the Wilderness area - or planning to visit - who need one - comment and I'll find out **exactly** where they came from.

A good end to a relatively normal weekend. It had been a while and, little did we know then, that it would be another while until yesterday's really normal Sunday!  More of that tomorrow.  Perhaps...

***Post script:***  I am trying to participate in @traciyork's April #HiveBloPoMo.  I emphasise *trying* because RL - and my day job - have been so busy over the last while that I've not known which way to turn. That shouldn't stop **you** - or anyone.  Read about how to participate [here](https://peakd.com/hive-134671/@traciyork/hive-blog-posting-month-aka-hiveblopomo-starts-november-1st-2022).

***This is Day 3***

<strong>Post script</strong>

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
<ul>
 <li>re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a <a href="https://ko-fi.com/S6S0YYAT" target="_blank" rel="noopener">coffee</a>. Or better yet, a <a href="https://k
o-fi.com/S6S0YYAT" target="_blank" rel="noopener">glass of wine</a>....?</li>
 <li>and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.</li>
</ul>
I blog to the Hive blockchain using a number of decentralised appplications.
