White Christmas! Or after Christmas. It’s so cold that everything turned frosty and white. Looks rather nice since it’s sunny.
I got a few Christmas gifts that I don’t know what to do with. One of them is a set of “moonshine” from the Christmas market which is supposed to be more like liquors with different flavors but they all taste like Disaronno to me. Can I use that in baking somehow? And the other is a bottle of apple juice cordial with spices. I guess other people would just put it in hot water and drink it but I don’t like sweet drinks at all. What do I do with this stuff?
There’s also a glitter bath bomb which I am planning to use today. I hope it won’t stick to my hair forever.
Did you guys get nice gifts? Odd gifts?
At least the cats are enjoying the ribbons from all the packaging.

It was pretty windy last night. I saw three trees that had fallen on the road. Two in such a way that there was barely enough room to squeeze through on one lane, and one that completely blocked the whole road. On top of those next to a home improvement store there was like a display sheet metal garden shack upside down on the street It had travelled something like 50 meters from where the other display garden shacks seemed to still be.
I googled where I could call to tell about the tree that’s blocking the road, and first I called this hotline that was called something like “road user’s hotline”. I told them were the tree was, and the guy just said “unfortunately that’s the city’s jurisdiction, we can’t do anything”, lmao. Apparently they only care if it’s on a highway. So I called the emergency number and they seemed to be pleased to hear about it. Also told them about the garden shack, but it was old nows, they had already been called about it by somebody else.
I’ve called the emergency number like a million times by now because I always somehow end up seeing something like this. Something on the roads that’s dangerous. A tree blocking it, a moose walking on it, a man walking on it, whatever.
