Buckets&Bouquets

BOUQUETS to the girls at OPSM Corio. They were so helpful and friendly when I attended the store the day before Easter. They couldn’t do enough for me. It’s a pity more shop assistants aren’t like them, especially Mel.
Terrific Girls, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to everyone who participated in FIGMENT Geelong, whether volunteers, artists or patrons. Johnstone Park was alive with interactive art, creativity, motivation, fun and community like never before. Google us to join the team next year.
Miriam Fathalla, FIGMENT Geelong producer

BUCKETS to Geelong Football Club for the eyesore of towers for new lights. Thanks for letting the people of Geelong have a say because it was probably paid for with taxpayers’ money.
SW, South Geelong

BOUQUETS to the team at Oxygen Music for hosting a recent drum clinic with some of the musicians from Santana’s band. It was a great opportunity for Geelong musicians, with the guys playing to a big crowd.
Steve Gray, Grovedale

BOUQUETS to sculptor Janinati Leitch and jeweller Victoria Edgar. Geelong is lucky to have these two great artists. Their contemporary sculpture workshop at Geelong Art Society was so rewarding. They are the best teachers I have had. Great things were achieved on the day.
Jenny, Clifton Springs

BOUQUETS to the kind person who handed in my grandson’s wallet to the wool museum with his holiday money still inside. Bouquets also to the person who handed in my new zip to Spotlight after I dropped it in a car park. Both of you made our day.
Jan, East Geelong

BOUQUETS to the kind person who handed in my purse at Corio Shopping Centre’s post office on pension day recently.
Kath, Norlane

BUCKETS to a postie who drove a motorbike through wet cement to reach a letterbox even though council had clearly taped off the area. Thirty years of waiting for a footpath repair was wasted in one lazy, thoughtless second.
Delivery Immortalised, Herne Hill
