Loving these, Ray. Multi-textured snippets of ordinary.

Thanks so much, Cuz. “Multi-textured snippets of ordinary” is exactly the sort of thing I hope they are. Or, as Carver put it, “making the ordinary extraordinary.” :-) x

I love these glimpses of English life.

Thanks so much. I’m probably just trying to pay close attention to the texture of everyday English life, mundane though it often is.

These recent ones are some of your best stories, Ray, in my opinion. Thoroughly grounded, but they touch the peaks of the varied world of normality enough to remain gripping.
