Autumn blues... or should that be orange and red?

Haven't posted due to lack of home Internet access. Who knows what excuse the telco has, but it still hasn't been resolved. Maybe a wizard came and severed all the cables with his magic wand with some binding magic spell that can't be undone until a fair maiden arrives on a cloud to kiss it better. Bleh, not happy at all.
In any case, I've been bed ridden due to sounding like an old man with a smoker's cough i.e. am sick. No fun to be had.
