The phone didn't even ring.
It was simply a text message, which I only saw as I happened to be looking at the time.
That's me done for then. I won't even know come the end of the world. And, actually, I only switched the sound on my phone because I was curious. Husband is always getting annoyed with me because the sound is switched off and he can't contact me.
So no hope for me I guess.
But my bit of the garden will look nice as I've ordered another rose bush.

Seeing Boud's mention of an old family dictionary reminded me of the two-volume set of Webster's dictionary we acquired during my childhood. I seem to remember it belonged to my mum's boss and he was getting rid of it so she brought it home.
As a child I was fascinated by it. It seems to be the 1864 edition and I am amazed by the amount of detail that can be shown in tiny black and white illustrations.

Oh, the 1864 edition was the BEST! lol
That's very helpful, yes!!
So the end of the world could come and go and you wouldn't know in time to get your Repent, the End is Near sign ready? Dang.
That is extremely cool!
Totally, Debra. A great improvement on the Revised of 1847.
I always have that to hand, Boud.
I wonder how many words in there are now obsolete, PipeTobacco?
Just a text? I would have missed it too. And since I live alone I probably would have gotten up the next day and gone to work only to find nothing there.
My iWatch vibrates when the pone rings or when I get a text. But I have to be wearing it for it to work. lol
I am reminded of my mother's ancient, falling-apart dictionary ... Oh gosh, I just turned around to check, and I seem to still have it along with some old bibles. Perhaps this will lead to a blog post. Hmmm?
