Blogs of Note: My Neighbours Are Hoors!

I love this site. It's bawdy (but not salaciously so), charming, poignant and a bit profane (but not terribly so), and, most importantly, it's filled with warm, engaging, delightfully wry good humor.

A Scottish woman with a keen eye for detail, a wonderful way with words, and (one imagines anyway) a twinkle in her eyes and a warm glow in her heart relates her adventures with her neighbors somewhere in the UK. Her neighbors, in the downstairs flat, are (as the title states with wonderful directness) ladies of negotiable affection.

The writer of My Neighbours Are Hoors! welcomes us into her world with colorful episodes and tart asides...she has respect and abiding affection for the working girls working in the brothel downstairs in her apartment building...and she even includes helpful glossary (helpful for clueless Americans like yours truly who, for example, thinks of football when hearing someone referred to as a "punter") and FAQ sections (links to both on the opening page of the blog.)

Take an open mind (a good sense of humor and an open heart) whenver you go to this site and you will be charmed (maybe mildly shocked from time to time...but mostly charmed)...I know I am.
