More preparations

Very tired today. For the first time in... well, probably since we moved here about two months ago, I slept the whole night trough without waking up once, only waking up when Dragon's alarm went off. Was greeted with a flooding toilet - no idea where the water came from, but it seems to have stopped now. Need to keep an eye on that... And we were reminded that we still don't have any kind home insurance which we need to get - we got lucky this time as there was no damage and the flooding was contained in the bathroom.

I'm sure I did something important in the morning, but I have no idea where the time went. I do know I napped on the sofa for over two hours which is a bit extensive, even for me. I didn't manage to get out of the house until around four, but it had to be done as I had decided to go and buy mulled wine incredients today. I did manage to find everything I was looking for, even if it took two trips (and here's my mental note: go to the liqueur store last next time, as bottles weight a lot).

I put the spices with orange and lemon peel marinating in some vodka (in a dash of patriotism I bought Finlandia) and port wine, and the fragrant smell coming out of the container is absolutely fab. Tomorrow it's time to drain the spices out and put in the dry red wine - I've combined the recipe from several sources I found on the net, leaning on the Swedish glögg recipes that are probably closest to my Finnish palette. If it turns out ok I'll share it for all the other expats who want a piece of Finland at home.
