feral trade Day return trip bristol-london to co-ordinate with passing courier Eleanor King, departing for Halifax on the 30th. An 11th hour save for groceries travelling to world portable gallery convention. Departing bristol amidst a band of heavy rain I arrived in London in good time, however the plan was nearly crashed by paralympic torch passing which seized up the West End at that moment, effectively paralysing buses the only London transport form actually accessible to the disabled. Following advice from clueless olympic volunteers, when the 3rd cross town bus unexpectedly terminated & without Eleanor's phone number to update timing I finished up 'racing' paralympicly speaking from Green Park tube station a good 30 minute semi sprint. Due to police-backed road barricade at Piccadilly Circus this included cutting through the Trocadero sub-street shopping mall following shouted instructions of a passerby heard through helicopter fuzz it was just like the bourne ultimatium. Limped in to Covent Garden 25 mins after our meeting time to spot Eleanor still waiting outside Monmouth Coffee easily visible with tate carrier bag. Handover effected followed by a torrential downpour arriving from the southwest, I had a coffee at Monmouth & headed back to Bristol. michael eddy Package arrived safely to Eyelevel Gallery as install was going on, following two unsuccessful attempts to pick up at courier Eleanor King's house (1st time, wrong address; 2nd time, nobody home). Beans still awaiting grinding.
Courier Report FER-1666 DISPATCHED: 29/08/12 DELIVERED: 31/08/12 Eleanor King From the Monmouth coffee shop, the shipment travelled by foot to Southbank and then by tube and a walk through the Kensington Gardens to Serpentine Gallery. There was an underground pedestrian traffic jam (escalator out) at the South Kensington tube station, causing an unexpected delay getting to a party at a place called the Cheshire Cheese on Milford lane, by Temple station. After a few pints, the package was transported by London underground to Gunnersbury where it rested overnight. To London Heatherow at 10:30am August 30th, no problems at security exiting London, nor customs entering Halifax. The shipment was held at 5675 Hennessey street for 2 days before being delivered to Eyelevel Gallery.

kate rich 7 May 2012. As it was yet again raining, following the wettest UK april on record despite the threat of drought, I western unioned the money by phone, using as required from my home phone, mobiles not meeting WU security criteria. On the first attempt transaction was refused by the bank which machine-phoned simultaneously my mobile to warn of western union's suspicious transaction. So I had to hang up WU & use that phone to call the bank's fraud department using my phone's keypad: to confirm your identity press buttons to confirm part of your date of birth from 3 choices. Re-phoned WU had to start the whole transaction from scratch, Operator 737 asked do you know this person personally, making crystal clear WU's clear legal distance from any element of the transaction aside from the money part. Cash went through cleanly this time, should reach el salvador in 10 minutes.
