Buckets and bouquets

BOUQUETS to GAWS who rescued our gorgeous cat Nutmeg three years ago. We believe she’s now one of the happiest cats in Geelong, which may not have been the case without people like you.
Nino, Newtown
BOUQUETS to Happy Camper (26 June). We hope that your “tyres that had issues” are feeling better. Perhaps it was just the winter weather getting them down.
Amused family, Newtown
BOUQUETS to Dazzling Dan the magic man for the amazing show he performed at a birthday party for our son and daughter. He captured the hearts of the children and dazzled the adults too. Thank you for a truly magical day.
Renee, Lara
BOUQUETS to my neighbour Noel and his brother Kevin for their outstanding job of chopping back the huge tree in my yard, then cutting it into fire-size bits and mulching the rest. Thank you so much. Happy neighbour, Belmont
BOUQUETS to Anthony at Geelong West Dan Murphy’s and congratulations on your well-deserved promotion. At customer service he’s a star/One who’s destined to go far/Restocks shelves like a man possessed/Every patron query is addressed/We’re sorry to see him move on/But realize promotion has called him on. All the best and well-done Grasshopper.
Master, Herne Hill
BOUQUETS to the volunteers at the junior member’s day at Simonds Stadium this week. Thank you to Michelle from the cheer squad who made the afternoon very enjoyable for my autistic grandson and less stressful for me. You are a special lady.
Grateful Nana, Grovedale
BOUQUETS to the man who brought dad’s scooter home and the lady who drove dad home when his scooter ran out of power in Grovedale recently. Dad was delighted with your kindness and his family are just grateful you were there on the day.
Best wishes, Grovedale
BOUQUETS to Benders bus drivers for exceptional customer service on route 16 Highton run.
The two sisters, Belmont
