Builder didn't turn up (again)

The builder didn’t turn up today.  Ben sent him a long text message telling him that it is unacceptable for him to not turn up. I went to work but was back home by 4pm in order to give Penny a lift to her physiotherapy session. I dropped her off but before I got back home, she’d called to say that she’s got the appointment time wrong and that she should have been there an hour earlier. I’d bought some sausages on the way home and Ben cooked them on the BBQ. Bibi had decided to stay and eat at Ed’s. I really can’t see the kitchen being completed before Christmas.
