THUMBS DOWN: To the people who brought their dog into a supermarket and put it in the trolley when it was not an assistance dog. Gross and unhygienic. And also to the supermarket for not doing anything about it.
THUMBS UP: To the great staff at Bairnsdale Post Office. Always helpful and courteous at this busy time of year.
THUMBS UP: To Wellington Shire for having the vision and conviction to invest in their regional towns and make them visually appealing and inviting for residents and visitors alike, it was a pleasure to drive through Sale recently to see how its developed in the last 20 years. As against the gateway to our East Gippsland area Bairnsdale…
THUMBS DOWN: To a family who lunched at Bullock Island last week. They left behind their leftover fish ‘n chips, an empty can of grog and a soiled nappy on the picnic table. The bin wasn’t far away. Disgusting.
THUMBS UP: To the nurses in the emergency department at Bairnsdale hospital. Despite how incredibly busy it has been lately, they continue to show up, work tirelessly and provide outstanding care with professionalism and compassion.
THUMBS UP: To the two police officers circling the Lakes Entrance Recreation Reserve last Saturday night who stopped to kick a football for a couple of minutes with a young family. Although their kicking left a lot to be desired, I’m sure the family got a few laughs and smiles from the experience.
THUMBS UP: To the honest person who found my wallet and left it at my front door. Thank you very much, may you have a wonderful Christmas and a prosperous new year.
