Anyone for popcorn…?

Every lunch time (well, almost every lunch time), out the front of Duncanson Hall, the lads from the Audio Visual Unit (AVU) are doing a “thriving” business selling popcorn.

For 80t (around 30c) you can purchase a fresh bag of popcorn. Extra salt provided for free.

Whenever I have the time (which is most days), I pop in for a bag of popcorn. Apart from being reasonably priced the popcorn is the nicest I have eaten for a long time. Also, a crowd normally gather around the vending machine and wherever a crowd gather in PNG, jokes, laughter and stories normally flow.

During my lunch break….  I like to retreat into my own space…   have a break from people and the world so to speak. A leftover from my Local Government days : always take time off for lunch, tends to clear the head in preparation for a productive afternoon back at the desk. So….  with the local newspaper in hand and a bag of popcorn, I find a nice quiet spot, sit down, munch away and read the local news.

In the meantime I better get cracking with that marking….
