Buckets & Bouquets

BUCKETS to all the dog droppings in St Leonards, especially in the lane between Dudley Pde and Murradoc Rd. I am tired to trying to avoid them. I spoiled a good pair of shoes by accidentally stepping on one. Please pick up after your dogs.
Angry, St Leonards

BOUQUETS to the kind person who handed in my bank card to Geelong Police Station on 11 April after finding it in a parking meter. I am so very grateful.
Di, Highton

BOUQUETS to a lovely lady who helped us after I fell in Ocean Grove.
Many Thanks, Ocean Grove

BOUQUETS to Barwon Health staff for the wonderful effort put into exhibiting around their departments information about the prevention on falls. A lot of time and thought when into the displays. I hope they have been widely seen.
No Falls, Thomson

BOUQUETS to a lovely lady who gave me change for a parking meter outside Barwon Health. She would not accept a note in exchange, saying: “This is my good deed for the day”. May she receive good karma. I’ll definitely pay it forward. I was genuinely touched.
Conrad, Hamlyn Heights

BUCKETS to the person who took my Oakley sunglasses from ALDI Geelong West on 7 April. As a disability pensioner, I spent more than a year saving for them. Show some honesty and heart and hand them in, as I cannot afford another pair.
Devastated, Newtown

BOUQUETS to Linda in Big W Geelong’s outdoor department for excellent service and a friendly manner. Other staff could learn from her a lot about retail.
Two Seniors, Ocean Grove

BUCKETS to a company delivering our daily newspaper. Since it took over we’ve missed weekly or our papers have been thrown into a neighbour’s yard. Sometimes we get two. I phoned to complain, was put on hold for 10 minutes until I hung up. Pathetic service.
DT, Herne Hill

BOUQUETS to the person who handed in my mobile phone at Westfield Geelong. I stupidly left it on the roof of my car. The phone means a lot to me because it is my only form of contact with my elderly mother.
Karen, Belmont

BUCKETS to New Zealand’s gay marriage laws. If we continue breaking God’s law he will punish us all. Man’s laws are easy to break but break God’s and you are punished. It’s all in the bible. I’m not afraid of man, I’m afraid of God.
Living Faith, Grovedale

BOUQUETS to the operators and staff of Sea All Dolphin Swims for really looking after me. I received a voucher for my 50th birthday and they went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure it was a remarkable, memorable experience for me.
Judy, Lara
