BOUQUETS to a pair of men and three young ladies who were so kind and helpful when I fell at Corio Shopping Centre. Bouquets also to the first-aid workers and ambulance ladies.

BUCKETS to the person who took my wallet from my bag while I watched a cooking demonstration in West Fyans St. Bouquets to a lovely father and daughter who found and returned my stolen and discarded wallet. Their kindness restored my faith in humanity.
Lindy, Highton
BOUQUETS to Ford workers for providing free admission to Adventure Park for all 350 students of Nelson Park School. Most would have never visited the park without the workers’ generous donation. Bouquets also to Kiwanis Club of Geelong for providing a free barbecue for students on the day.
Staff and Students, Nelson Park School
BOUQUETS to the honest person who handed in my purse after I dropped it in the fridge section at ALDI Corio. They joy of knowing such people are around after I received such a fright was hard to describe.
Dolores, East Geelong
BOUQUETS to Swimwear Galore Geelong’s Daniella for her wonderful assistance when purchasing from the store recently. She spoiled me for choice and gave a great seniors discount. I was so nice to be treated with respect and caring attention.
Swimabella, Grovedale
BUCKETS to a hotel where I have been twice and waited over an hour for a meal, which was very disappointing because it wasn’t busy. Lift your game or the opposition will overtake you. The meals were nice but the waits were too long.
Unhappy Diner, Geelong West
BOUQUETS to a nice man who generously gave me $2 to try a massage chair at Westfield Geelong. He had just finished with the chair and laughingly said it was torture but I found it wonderful for my aching back after lugging around Christmas parcels.
Grateful, Torquay
BOUQUETS to a pair of lovely ladies who came to my assistance on 21 November when I had a nasty fall on the pavement between Gheninghap and Fenwick Sts. Their care and concern were wonderful. Nothing broken, just pride dented.
Embarrassed, Belmont
Buckets to political tragics who aggressively thrust how-to-vote cards at voters on their way to a polling booth on Saturday. One I could handle but three or four was too many. You won’t win any votes by ganging up on voters to harass them.
Voter, Torquay
Bouquets to a girl at the Queenscliff Music Festival. She came up to me as I waited in line, said she had a free ticket and put it around my arm so I could go in to enjoy the music. It showed how the festival has nice people.
Brian, South Geelong
