Cement Boots?

We were all geared up to meet the concreter to start negotiating start date and price; Helen had even planned a low cut top! We were due to meet at Frank's folks place. An hour after he was supposed to arrive, Frank's dad calls him to find he is sick in bed! and no, he hadn't thought to call! Is this a bad omen!! He assures us he will be well enough to meet tonight. Fingers crossed
