Buckets & Bouquets

BUCKETS to the driver who left a rude note complaining about my parking skills on my windscreen at Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre. You wouldn’t have seen the circumstances preventing me from parking correctly, on a day when car parks were scarce.
Brave move, Belmont

BUCKETS to a vindictive anonymous letter writer – you are the one who needs some serious help.
Genuine mum, Torquay

BOUQUETS to Milan, McHarry’s Buslines, for returning my phone. I am homeless so your honesty is deeply appreciated.
Bob, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to the Gateway Fish Shop, Leopold. The staff and owner are the friendliest people you could find. Support the small outlets, not the big chain ones.
Great food, Leopold

BUCKETS to the people who don’t clean up after their dogs and let people walk through it. Also to people who spit on the ground, both are disgusting. This happens along Villamata and Pakington streets where I walk every day and have to watch where I am going.
Dirty people, Geelong West.

BUCKETS to the restaurant manager who gave all the men at the table a business card and completely ignored the women. Nice to know misogyny is alive and well in the culinary profession.
Misogyny Victim, Grovedale

BOUQUETS to the kind motorist who carefully avoided my little black and white dog when he ran back and forth across the road opposite Lake Lorne Drysdale, and my apologies for my hysteria, particularly to the motorist I suddenly leapt in front of while chasing Toby.
Joan, Clifton Springs

BOUQUETS to Nadine and Emma from Millers Waurn Ponds, Elsie from Nutrimetics, Paula from Tupperware and Carol from Rummage and Craft for making Grovedale Senior Citizens Club’s Fashion Parade on 27 June a great success.
Jan Jobson, Grovedale Senior Citizens Club

BOUQUETS to all those who came to my aid when I fell from my bike while riding on Moorabool St last week. Your care and attentiveness was very much appreciated. I’m okay and plan to be back on my bike sooner than later. Thank you.
Helen, Belmont

BOUQUETS to Beachside Blooms, Ocean Grove. Interstate flowers had not been received, Shelley made many calls to no avail. NSW florist said they were delivered or pinched and would not resend. Flowers were sent again (using another florist), Shelley going beyond with customer service.
Blooming marvellous, Ocean Grove
