Up this morning and into a zoom meeting. Line runs. I think there’s gonna be a lot of that in the next few weeks. Such a huge learn ahead of me. A lovely part in a very zingy play but it won’t be zingy if I can’t remember what the fuck I’m supposed to be saying.
Then I was heading to my workshop when I realised I agreed to invigilate an exam at Imperial. My only one of the season. They ask our availability too far in advance these days so I tend to just try and hoover up the cancellations.
Pleasant to sit in a concentrated room for a while although someone started messaging me asking for Little Mermaid themed children’s entertainers without being clear about the money. I have a large network but I can’t cope with vague. If I know the money I can say : “I’ve got a gig, here’s what it’s paying, here’s when it is. Who wants it?” She’s slightly taking the piss I think, likely because she wants to be the wedge between the client and the job and skim like crazy. I’m not really at home to that sort of thing. Likely would be much richer if I was…
Then as the exam was running to a finish I got a message asking if I could cover the pub quiz at The Porchester tonight in Bayswater. I figured it’s on my doorstep and it’s money. So another yes and then I went on a quick mission to get some boxes, my tools including a sander for Lou. I’ll see her tomorrow on the job. We’re packing boxes all day tomorrow in Kensington and prepping furniture.
After the quiz tonight I’ll have a zoom meeting at home at like 9:15pm to once again do lines and think about scenes for Strange Oaths.

Did so. Then went immediately to bed and thought I’d already scheduled this. Happy morning.
