Yes, that is a reference to High School Musical and, yes, I am still referencing High School Musical eight years after it came out... But, like Troy met Gabriella, I have just met someone knew: you!
So, to introduce myself...
Firstly, my name is Florrie. Yep, just Florrie; not Florence, not Florian (I have been called that before), just Florrie. A few weeks ago, dismayed at the fact I'd still never met someone else called Florrie, I googled the history of the name. And, what did I learn?
I learnt that the name 'Florrie' peaked in popularity in the 1890s. My name is ancient.
Moving on from my name, I should probably talk about my likes to prepare you for what is to come on this blog.
My likes include...
Dogs
Since a very young age, I havebeen a huge admirer of the canine-kind. Whether they're tall or small, curly or straight, the odds of me wanting to take home a dog are pretty high (with the exception of the dogs that take a disliking to my dog, obviously). Four years ago, I was lucky enough to take on the responsibility of owning an English Springer Spaniel called Jasper. Even though he is nearing nine years old, like most spaniels, he acts as though he is nine months. And he still manages to look like a pup too... Lucky guy.
Books
As supposedly 'geeky' as reading is, I would never turn down the opportunity to immerse myself in the wonders that are books. Ever since The Hunger Games was released a few years ago, I have been completely taken in by the dystopian book-wave and things will probably remain that way for a long time to come. Whatever the type, however, I love most books involving an element of suspense and lots of action. Be prepared for some reading updates, readers...
Food
Okay, so maybe this is a no-brainer but I do love a bit (erm, admittedly, maybe slightly more than 'a bit') of food. Bruschetta, lasagne and then a mountain of profiteroles... My mouth waters just at the thought of it. I cannot last a long period of time at all without planning of what to eat for dinner. Fortunately, I really enjoy cooking and, subsequently, I might share some of my favourite recipes with you all.
That seems about enough for my first blog post on this page... I hope you've enjoyed it!
