Buckets&Bouquets

BUCKETS to sticky-beak neighbours who always want their own way and who are trying to get rid of us. Sorry, it won’t happen. They have done everything possible, even calling council about our pets. Why steal our bin? Stop playing games with us.
Get A Life, Grovedale

BOUQUETS to Bunnings Waurn Ponds’ garden centre staff for helping me load instant turf into my hatchback car.
Lynda, Grovedale

BOUQUETS to the generous businessman who helped with a shortfall on my purchase of a Myki card to travel on a bus to Ocean Grove on 24 April. I hope his generosity is rewarded in some way.
Greatly Appreciated, Ocean Grove

BOUQUETS to lollipop lady Julia at South Geelong Primary School’s crossing for helping us cross the road safely, always being happy and knowing our names. You are the best lollipop lady ever.
My Two Brothers And I, East Geelong

BOUQUETS to the person who found and re-posted a precious postcard from my nanna that was lost in Boundary Rd, East Geelong. The postcard arrived safely.
Megan, St Albans Park

BOUQUETS to Living Faith (Buckets & Bouquets, 26 April). The reactions to your bucket were further proof of Jesus’s words about the prevailing attitude in humanity’s final days, biblically called “the last days”. Truth does not change with the shifting sands of opinion.
John, Bell Post Hill

BUCKETS to responses last week to Living Faith. We were designed one way for obvious results. It’s referendum time – who’s up for it?
Sick Of One-Sided Minority, Lara

BUCKETS to a cyclist wearing yellow for riding through red lights at the intersection of Malop and Bellarine Sts at 7.30am on 3 May. You cleverly negotiated the intersection single-handed while sending an SMS but maybe the next motorists won’t be able to avoid you.
Margaret, Highton
