Buckets and bouquets

BOUQUETS to a man who found my wallet and dropped it off to my house on 3 March. Phone me on 0422 850 277 – a slab’s waiting for you. Buckets to the person who found it first and took my money and video cards.
Ashley, Geelong

BUCKETS to a transport firm and City of Greater Geelong for clanging, banging, revving, rattling, dust, slippery roads, potholes, hundreds of trucks and little sleep every night. Now the company is moving but has had no time restrictions placed on it in the interim.
Anxious Upset and Tired, Lara

BOUQUETS to all the staff of Geelong’s hospital for the care, compassion and treatment I received for my husband in an emergency situation last week. The confidence, support, composure and reassurance were first-class.
Maralyn, Barwon Heads

BOUQUETS with ear-licks and tail-wags to Newtown Veterinary Clinic’s Katie and Tania for showing such kindness and compassion when assisting puppy Darcie’s gentle passing from this life. See you in the next, Darc.
Sonia, Geelong West

BUCKETS to the person who side-swiped me on Lt Malop St, between Swanston and Fitzroy Sts, around 3pm on 4 March. A witness left your details under my windscreen. Contact me on 0407 466 620 or your details will be passed on to police.
Donna, Newcomb

BOUQUETS to Daryl Backwell for inadvertently highlighting a major cause of rising power bills, the impact of which Robert Van Zetten discussed on the same Letters page in last week’s Independent. The poor can’t eat renewable energy but at least they can afford to eat with fossil fuels.
That’s a Logical Argument, Belmont

BOUQUETS to Jokers’ Jenny who was so friendly to me and all her customers. She was really good. It was a pleasure to visit the hotel for a good meal and drinks. Thank you, Jenny.
Cindy, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to the fantastic people who helped push my car off Wallington Rd when I broke down on 2 March and to the amazing family who drove me home. You renewed my faith in human kindness.
Micky, Leopold
