I spend most of the following week creating a backup article in case I couldn't find a better one in time.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZap0rDMi1

It was Friday, and I was bored. I knew only too well that I had stiff to be getting on with, but at the point I jar needed it most, the router had decided to break down. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡavIl3nJEcD 維尼

Not being too much if a whizz with technology myself, and nor wishing to do further damage to it, I had decided it was better to leave it for BT to fix for me. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwfLbMeNHB 維尼

After a good couple of minutes of boredom, I pulled on my coat, found my wallet and stepped out into the freezing cold. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbc03ZeUp5 維尼

I was definitely colder than I had expected. I shivered in the small autumnal jacket I had found in the back of my wardrobe and wished I'd been bothered to pull out a bigger one instead. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡvklrNa1tsL 維尼

I stopped in the middle of the street, lost amongst the crowd of people, pondering for a moment. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzyo6v2PF2 維尼

It had suddenly hit me. What to get my mother for Christmas. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQCdWNHnjp 維尼

I usually got her jewellery, but I was so bored right now and wanted to get her something slightly different. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP8sxjWHS4 維尼

It had dawned upon me that she rarely ever got out (but don't get the wrong idea. She isn't a little old grandma; she's 45),  purely because "it's always too cold" . I don't know exactly why it hadn't occurred to me before to get her a new jacket so maybe I could persuade her to get out some more and catch a little bit of fresh air. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35knjYxiHS 維尼

Suddenly I heard a shout from across the street. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb551ARC1K 維尼

"Hey, mi amigo!" the man said, waving being slightly too conspicuous for my liking. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe1nUkxZ0F 維尼

"H-hi, Antonio," I said quietly, hoping to avoid the stares of members of the public around me. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzdKJdSNJO 維尼

Antonio was wearing a long beige trench coat and a tricolour scarf. It was green, white and red, and as he crossed the road it flapped madly in the wind. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1MH43h7Is 維尼

I couldn't help but notice that on his back was a large black guitar case. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsANBb4rXb 維尼

"I didn't know you played the guitar," I remarked. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡDETKErvD7l 維尼

"Ah, well, there's a lot if things you don't know about me," he replied, winking and tapping his nose. "Did you want to hear me play?" 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2okQNgsFk 維尼

"Oh! Yes, please, if it wouldn't be too much trouble..."8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhjvDSq7CJ 維尼

Antonio set the enormous case down by a wall. The guitar inside was an acoustic and natural amber in colour. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡefrH6W6Gej 維尼

He magically produced a pick out of nowhere, positioned the guitar and began to play. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7771iAZR4 維尼

People around us stopped and stared. I turned away and blushed in embarrassment, but Antonio continued to play, and began to sing;573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUaiIF6K8t
8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LeP8X5X3B 維尼

I've tried playin' it cool, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF8sl2lRwP 維尼

But when I'm lookin' at you, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9VDXonjr7 維尼

I can't ever be brave, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡor8zjCLVJR 維尼

'Cause you make my heart race. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQUJPIpRSI 維尼

Shot me out of the sky, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡabQqlOy0QO 維尼

You're my kryptonite, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwaJQBlGT8 維尼

You keep making me weak, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡePWERf7As2 維尼

Yeah, frozen and can't breathe. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbQWjIJgoh 維尼

Something's gotta give now, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlmMk9BiJ7 維尼

'Cause I'm dying just to make you see, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt8cHuctHa 維尼

That I need you here with me now, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9iXauwpxv 維尼

Yeah, you've got that one thing8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP76Kww7iO 維尼

So get out, get out, get out of my head, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUaYvSse2e 維尼

And fall into my arms instead, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcyts8SA0c 維尼

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY6ih85W9a 維尼

But I need that in thing, yeah, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb4upPLAVP 維尼

You've got that one thing. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡge6KzdVio4 維尼

His newly gathered burst into applause and he looked up in shock. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVlJrWQoi0 維尼

To be honest, I was in shock too; Antonio had such a beautiful singing voice, and he was good at the guitar too. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbEV5aV55G 維尼

He looked at me. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFjkIBAvHu 維尼

"Well, I didn't expect that..."8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg59Jy7ntd 維尼

"You're talented."8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjVjGjSLyO 維尼

He stared at my face. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JtzsOPaMn 維尼

"That's exactly what my wife said. This was... The song I sang to her when I proposed."8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDzFL2FepX 維尼

"Proposed? You mean, you're married?"8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2oJLGCYNa 維尼

His face suddenly turned... a little sad. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqVnjoWgAZ 維尼

As the crowd dispersed, I quickly changed the subject. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡeThOv5psEw 維尼

"W-what do you do for a living?" I asked, trying not to shiver. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPXjXArbhq 維尼

His face changed a little. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv1LaEd2bM 維尼

"I teach music lessons at Chesgrove school." he said, putting the guitar away. "They're a very talented bunch!" 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡwajM4YJsUW 維尼

I nodded and exhaled, staring, mesmerised by the condensation happening in the air. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aoCQBPabl 維尼

"You look chilly,"  he pointed out unhelpfully. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x8F6Y7NwU 維尼

"Uhh... Um..."8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJqi1GKAVJ 維尼

My teeth were chattering by now, and I was shivering almost uncontrollably. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvGUAsL8r7 維尼

"Here."8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡLODzdG3hoS 維尼

Antonio took off his scarf and wrapped it around me. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡctAvcLo1aj 維尼

"I-i-it's f-f-fine... " I stuttered. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuM9taUDHI 維尼

"I have many, many more at home. Don't worry about it."8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf5KcbNzyK 維尼

He stood back and beamed. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SpUCds0sk 維尼

"There we go! You look warmer already!" 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡglhyC1RhZX 維尼

I realised that I was no longer shaking like a man possessed. Antonio put a hand on my shoulder. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WC3QQJAlz 維尼

"Keep it. Trust me, I have a whole collection of scarfs at home!"8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt6fkDE995 維尼

It was at the very moment I stepped inside that I had forgotten to do what I had originally set out to do.8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfQeZPtMzT 維尼

Groaning, I slumped into the chair and turned on my laptop. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9i4F04kZcA 維尼

The router was working again, and I found an email from BT in my inbox. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5lxHAPBDn 維尼

Dear Mr Osborne, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡpabvKMk3Of 維尼

The problem with your router seemed to have been caused by issues with our server. We have bow fixed the problem. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsF1cUvUcZ 維尼

The repair will be free of charge. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LB9Tzzjdn 維尼

Thank you for your understanding, 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs2UU6s67m 維尼

BT8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAKHpskPdh 維尼

I signed again, and hung up my coat. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKotmfCkaG 維尼

I stared at Antonio's scarf for a moment, before rolling it up neatly and placing it on the table in front of me. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGR0CGZf9C 維尼

I stared at my laptop for a while, as if an idea for the article would somehow magically pop into my head. And then I pushed the laptop out of the way and banged my head on the table. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMRHYsFINx 維尼

 The Christmas fair article wouldn't be enough. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡesPgpGfpiZ 維尼

Call me pessimistic, but my career was as good as finished. 8964 copyright protection569ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXQV2GXESD 維尼
