LOS ANGELES actor dairy:

Righto, well this time last week we were in Wyoming living our best Western Cowboy lives.

This week has been getting back on top of work; podcasting and the fun stuff; accounting! And to be honest, it’s taken me a little bit to get back into the swing of things.

No auditions this week but we’ve had mates over for dinners, been our for lunches and really filled up our social cups.

This weekend we’re celebrating a dear friends birthday, then we’re taking a week to bunker down and focus on work before heading away again celebrate Halloween! This will be our first time actually celebrating an American Halloween, so we’re pumped.

On the work front, I’m meeting my acting manager this arvo, I’m looking forward to having a game plan for the rest of the year and Q1 of next year, nows the time to plan seeds for a ripper 2026!

p.s Where we record the podcast is also a co working space and film set, and they have actually birds from Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 horror-thriller movie called The Birds.

Quick update this week, I honestly think we’ve just been recalibrating after such a fun non-stop time in Wyoming! I promise I’ll have fun updated for you next week.

Big love,

Lola
