Buckets and bouquets

BUCKETS to a car driver who hit and killed a cat on Boundary Rd, Newcomb, on Fathers Day. You did not stop. You left a lady heartbroken. Bouquets to the man who came back and moved the cat off the road.
LM, Newcomb

BOUQUETS to a pair of men who stopped to help two lady bowlers at Fyansford on 30 August. Bouquets also to another man from a house nearby for driving us to the bowls club.
Shirley and Bev, Norlane

BUCKETS to the person who left their dog’s very large poo right at my front gate. I can’t believe someone could be so dirty as to leave something like that right at someone’s gate and walk away thinking it doesn’t matter.
Clean Up Your Act, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to the staff at Geelong Hospital’s Emergency Department on 31 August. They were all very empathetic and professional. Special thanks to the triage nurse, intern Anthony, nurse Tamara and medical registrar Georgie.
Grateful, Newcomb

BOUQUETS to D & A Electrical’s Darren for going out of his way to update our wiring to comply with safety standards. He was polite, cleaned up after the job and spent extra time trying to sort out a radio interference problem from my shed. He was also on time.
John and Elaine, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to a gentleman for paying my petrol bill at APCO Lara. It was all because of a few kind words from me to his wife.
Grateful Pensioner, Lara

BOUQUETS to Whittington’s Tracey for going out of the way to return my pension card. Shame about the Bombers, though.
Much Appreciated, Ocean Grove

BUCKETS to Angry Shopper (Buckets & Bouquets, 19 September). Obesity can very much be a disability. It can also be a target of cruel people. Maybe you’re not obese because you’re angry all the time.
Obese And Proud, Corio

BOUQUETS to a kind jogger who overheard us mentioning that my son had lost his toy car. The jogger found it and ran back to return it to us by the Barwon River at Highton on Sunday morning.
Sandra, Geelong West
