Buckets and Bouquets

BOUQUETS to Headspace Corio, doing a wonderful job helping our troubled youth. Special thanks to Kirsten for caring for my grandson. We have seen a positive change in him. What a godsend the service is for families.
Relieved nana, Lara

BOUQUETS to Hire for Baby of Newcomb for great service and going above and beyond to help out when it was needed.
Baby love, Highton

BOUQUETS to Dr Paws at the Anakie Rd veterinary Clinic. Dr Mat: You’re an ace vet and girls, I luvs yas all. My foot is healing well; was too dozy to tell you on Monday – Gunner.
DN Tomkins, Herne Hill

BOUQUETS to waitress Julie at Alfio’s Restaurant in Newcomb on 3 January. Her warm, friendly and professional manner helped make our friends birthday party even more memorable. Thanks also for obtaining a pillow for my sore back.
Angie, Newcomb

BOUQUETS to the efficient, friendly gentleman at REM Williams. Just prior to Christmas he did a great job with a repair to my black ankle boots. They look like new and he helped by doing the work quickly.
Maureen, Drysdale

BOUQUETS to a lovely man who gave me $4 at Westfield Shopping Centre after the car park machine would not accept my $10 notes. He would not take any money in return. I was really touched by your kindness.
Thank you, Hamlyn Heights

BOUQUETS to all the friendly staff at BWS Ocean Grove. Their attitude makes shopping a pleasure, especially the young man who mans the register. His friendly manner is a breath of fresh air.
Happy pensioner, Grovedale

BOUQUETS to the new Porter Ave bakery, Pane di Matteo, for bringing vibrancy to the shopping strip on Saturday mornings. It is great to see people out and about enjoying themselves.
Happy neighbour, Highton

BUCKETS to the drunk parents of teenage netballers and footballers at the Sportsman’s Night held Moolap on 9 January. This event was to highlight the issue of ice in Geelong and was supported by Family Drug Support. Alcohol is a drug and a more prevalent problem among teens yet so widely encouraged by these parents. You make the job of parents trying to do the right thing so much harder.
Monkey see, monkey do, Leopold

BUCKETS to the sporting club catering staff who cut up a large sponge birthday cake before it was presented to the guest of honour. When cut, the pieces fell all over the place, so it was scraped off the presentation board, cobbled together, and squeezed onto a smaller tray.
Travesty, Corio
