The Ongoing Adventures of ASBO Jesus

A BELATED ‘HAPPY CHRISTMAS!’

Filed under: Uncategorized — jonbirch @ 11:07 am

happy christmas one and all. i hope it was an ASBOlutely great time for you all.
as for me, it was one spent in the company of aching bones, sore skin and contending with erratic and polarised body temperatures as i fought and lost to some nasty little flu virus thingy, with no appetite and trashy christmas tv for company. clares christmas was mostly spent at the hospital ward where a prominent and well loved family member is parked for the time being… so we didn’t see each other much. but, are we down-hearted? nah!… well, not entirely. :-)
a couple of magnificent friends showed their magnificense (not for the first time) by being wonderfully generous and fuss free… putting clare and her mum on their christmas dinner guest list so all they had to worry about was hospitall visits… now that IS the spirit of christmas!!! big thanks d and d!
on the road to recovery now and cartooning will begin again very shortly.

  3. Best laid plans, eh? Sorry to hear you’ve been under the weather. Always seems to happen at Christmas, doesn’t it? Next time I have a natter with my creator, I’ll remember to mention your family health concerns. Try to get a good rest (there’s no better medicine).

  9. Just discovered these cartoons recently - and sorry to hear you’ve been having a bit of a time of it, over Christmas. Hope you’re all back on form as soon as possible. And thanks for the challenging (and funny - that’s important) cartoons.

    I put a few of them on the church website too… hopefully they won’t scare the congregation too much :-)

    Keep up the good work!

  12. You Guys,

    Want to pass this on- it’s about Fairtrade and not looking down at Africans.

    See what you think.

  14. Hey, Jon - sorry to hear you’ve been under the weather. Praying for you, and glad to hear you’re on the mend.

    While you’re recovering, if you want a good read, Santa Claus has been blogging a bit. :) He’s been a bit under the weather himself this week.

  15. Hi Jon–Have never written but thoroughly enjoy your posts. My family has been fighting probably exactly the same virus–canceled our Christmas travel plans. Take care, eat some chicken soup if you have the appetite for it, get LOTS of rest.
