Bouquets to The Authentic Gardner’s Meredith for a creative design and advice to suit my budget and garden style. She has given me a beautiful, easy-care and often-admired garden.

Buckets to a Mythbusters episode screened on SBS at a time when children could have been watching.
The program conducted an experiment on movie gun sounds and had a table full of live ammunition and weapons, which I found disturbing. I’m sure many would agree Mythbusters could perform other demonstrations.

Buckets to a woman who took out her anger on a tiny dog at Torquay Farmers’ Market on February 2. She used threatening words to the bewildered dog and forcefully tugged on its leash. I hope she seeks help rather than take out her problems on innocent beings.
Jodie, Waurn Ponds
Buckets to a radio station for stopping Fast Money on Fridays. I would much prefer Fast Money than some of the other station’s other games. Please put it back on.
Ex-Player, Highton
Bouquets to the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at BreastScreen for their care, compassion and support. They made a difficult situation much easier to tolerate. We are lucky to have this wonderful facility in Geelong.
Kim, Highton

Bouquets to a lovely lady at Ohako Japanese Sushi Noodle Dumpling Bar for getting up at sparrow o’clock on a Sunday to make fresh sushi for my fourth birthday party. She also made me two of my favourite avocado rolls and a bonus.
Finley, Geelong
Bouquets to the person who handed in my wallet at Otway Fly and to the staff and police who returned it. Such generosity of spirit capped off a great visit to this world-class facility.
Don, Indented Head
Buckets to Caroline (Buckets & Bouquets, February 8). What are you, a motorist or some kind of bird? A sign flashing messages in “bright colours” should not distract you from driving. I hope I never encounter you near traffic lights. Maybe you should consider handing in your licence.
Watching The Road, East Geelong
Bouquets to two lovely people. The first was a man at Leopold who pulled over and checked why my car engine was steaming. The second was a Belmont lady who offered me a cold drink on a hot day as I waited outside her house for my lift.
Grateful, Highton
Bouquets to Mitre 10 North Geelong’s Anthony for excellent customer service when I was looking for plastic door strips. His employer should be proud of him.
