Introductions

For the purpose of the blog, perhaps I should introduce myself. My name is Alora and I am a talkaholic. I also like wine, have a 5 year old daughter, the Rabbit, and am married to a man I shall call Mr G. Mr G has a teenager who lives in our house nearly all the time. The Contessa. Before I met the Contessa I had no idea how intimate a relationship one could have with wine. I have lived with her now for some years. Chardonnay is my favourite. We have two cats, Tubby and Stinky, and we live in the suburbs in a house that is still standing, in a City that has fallen down. Christchurch New Zealand is where we call home.

I describe myself best as a Mummy and a Footballers Wife. My daughter is my pride and joy, my husband is an ageing goalie on a well aged team and a passionate supporter of Arsenal. I love him very much. My official role in life is Housewife, although on all official documents under occupation I write Solicitor. It seems hard to believe, but once upon a time I was one. Due to a series of life's unhealthiest hurdles I find myself in charge of a vacuum cleaner but without an office. I am searching for a new role in life, one with less cleaning duties and more pomp and ceremony but for the time being I intend to blog my life as it pops into my head. I hope to share a laugh or two, undoubtedly at my expense, with you along the way.
