Buckets and bouquets

BUCKETS to a female priest who said on the news, “God bless Indonesia” for the execution of two Australians over something the Indonesian president could not forgive. Her turn will come.
Disappointed, Grovedale

BOUQUETS to a kind person who bothered to promptly hand in my driver’s licence to police. It was returned to me on the mail only four days after it was lost. I had hoped a person like you would find it.
Danielle, Bellarine

BOUQUETS to pet owners who pick up their dogs’ droppings but buckets to others and councils that are happy to see our footpaths, nature strips, footy ovals and playgrounds used as dog toilets.
Don’t Pollute, Newcomb

BOUQUETS to my cousin, Renee, of Lara. She has three young children of her own but always finds the time to help with my little girls and to cook us delicious treats. Renee is an asset to our family and the community.
Felix, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to Geelong Managed Print Solutions for donating an expensive printer to a silent auction to raise money for a worthy cause and also for promptly, cheerfully setting it up for the purchaser when she had trouble doing it herself.
Dinosaur, Leopold

BOUQUETS to the kind and honest person who found and handed in my purse with contents intact after I dropped it while shopping at Safeway Ocean Grove on Sunday. Please accept my profound thanks.
EMH, Ocean Grove

BOUQUETS to Holly and Tiffany, star performers making Dan Murphy’s Geelong West a great place to buy grog. Their keen, friendly and helpful attitudes are legendary. They help relieve the pain of spending money. Keep up the great work, ladies.
Old Fella, Herne Hill

BOUQUETS to the staff at Pizzas With Attitude for delivering eight interesting and tasty pizzas to my door at exactly the time requested on Sunday. Highly recommended for inexpensive catering.
Ingrid, Highton

BUCKETS to Peter (Buckets & Bouquets, 22 May) for suggesting women from “a particular European country” are “gold diggers”. How bigoted and sexist can you get? If he’s lamenting a failed relationship it probably has more to do with his misogyny than the alleged failings of women from Europe.
Euros Trashed, Geelong West
