The New home in other side of Thames

It is the first time I assigned my home in the South bank of river. 174 New Camberwell road is the new address. One week is already passed without any representatives intermission, we hope and pray to stay there for a Long time. The luck shouldn't be so arrogant, especially after more than half a year of rough squatting :) The house has got artistic spirit and nice, wild garden.

Yesterday I landed in Riga. Back in motherland to take a brake, sort out some stuff and harmonize my energies.

wild nature traces in London

It was hot, sunny evening we were on the way to Cutty Sark, our feeder was waiting for us over there. Not only marvelous selection of great food by Marks and SpenSponsors was waiting for us, but even 3 Italian guys stick to our tribe and formed solid crew of 5 people for riding bins :)

Actually I liked passages and the particular architecture style of Greenwich university, just a different feeling comparing it to my recent squathome in Crouch Hill surrounded by metal cold and unpersonal sitex sheets.

Memories, events and currents feelings... are they 3 different styles how U can express Your inner world in blog ? or they are just tools to merge together and organise one mighty machine :)

Outer world brought me one more remarkable and inspirative personality Inara. She gave me a possibility to recall in memory different mentality than hungarian I am experiencing living in Crouch Hill.

Anyway, all this entry was about the hedhehog we saw near the pathway to West Hampsted railway station.

Hold on the fortress or just "Turi Buru"

It was 27th April I guess... The IPO death sentence was coming for 22 Shirlock road and I was sitting on my backpack as usually, so we agreed to put in action just recently bought citex key, khe khe :)

The destination point was 23 Tabley road. It was about 2.oo o`clock we arrived there and started to unscrew citex security grill. It was long struggle to take off citex sheet, eventually after 2.5 h we took it off. The first time we saw bare door, we thought it will be easy to open yale lock, but there was some bolt lock we later discovered that being already inside, yooohaa :)

It was not end, it was just new beginning. same steps further and evil motion sensor sent a first beep to central horn on the second floor in bathroom. That was the decision point - to run away or to hold the fortress and fight till the end. Me and Maris agreed to stay inside an keep securing the entrances, I immediately put papers between doors and locks, Maris screwed bolt lock on the doors of basement floor. We covered all motion sensors which were all over the house. The alarm went on 3 times and two security guys checked the house in different times, we didn't speak with them. Gytas came later and brought some tools and key to deactivate battery for security system. When sitex lock was changed arrived 3rd security guy and we started finally to negotiate with him. He was quite strict and he called cops.

We expected one police car, but when I looked through the window I saw 4 of them ! Dem !
They asked to open the doors, we rejected this nice offer. The house was surrounded by policemen trying to get access to house and collecting bullshitting evidence of criminal damage. Even my desperate try to explain why I am doing squatting neither squatters legal warning didn"t help to avoid police to smash the doors on the basement floor. Don't ever look for justice in this world, khe khe, especially trying to persuade police doing criminal damage.
So, despite the fact we boarded the doors, police eventually got inside and arrested us... It looked that they expected to see more than 3 guys... concerning to previous 12 squatters in this building.
We been kept in custody for some 12 hours, we spoke with solicitor and been interviewed. I got simple caution for doing criminal damage under 5000 qids, sounds dreadful for replacing lock and taking of security sheet. Anyway it was option to go to court and deny the accusing or admit it and get out of the lovely custody cell, I admitted that to be free again... hmmm yee... just question am I really free now !? :)

barefoot

I was walking barefoot for a while in Stamford Hill yesterday and attracted a lot of people's attention. Am I stranger ? or people are strangers. Eventually it shouldn't be like that, especially in LondonGrad ;-)

It was 7 minutes to midnight, we were checking out the house with Maris on 154 Tufnell park road.
Guess what we found there ? Yee, it happened again in my short squatters experience... two guys were already acting there. They seemed to me to british pUnK guys, most likely stoned, but citex cover was already almost removed, so quite affective. Yee... Cris was ones guy name. He even gave me some important information...

flying bird

It is gone like a bird... 73 Elms park avenue is gone as well.
The luck should turn her shiny surface against us at once. It should...

The first role play as construction workers was manifested, not very successful, but still we tried hard.

Still looking for a new shelter. yee.. just question what kind ?

the undefine state

We are still staying at 73 Elms Park Avenue. It looks like council has lost the PIO certificate or she was bullshitting us, anyway good for us.
Gytas found excellent house located at 6 Albion road. We went for action on night between monday and tuesday. Something unexpected happened. No, It wasn't disturbed neigbourns or mighty police. It was man in black walking out of backyard doors, it was polish guy, who overcame us by some one hour probably. Yee 'We are squatting this house already' was the sentence he gasped. No regrets, squatting is quite popular in London.

present prison

You wanna tell me the truth, but.... You can't because nobody knows where exactly she is ;-)
NW3.... what is that... ??? it is the first latvian squat I visited here in London being involved in squatters matters for even more than 4 months... Met Bella, Maris and Yee... Mardja is already living there... nice, isn't it ? :)

Elm Park avenue... a new star, but already rotten.. We need to move out very soon... IPO - intended prottected occupier, sounds so serious. But Yee, it looks like Haringey council has got the powerfull certificate to kick us out by any means.

So... we are still looking for the place - We would like to move in, khe khe :)

A tall guy from Scottland, called Max Burton is the heroe involved in our fake stories dealing with the curios neighbourhood.

Peace, love and eternity, my prisoners :)
