I'm incredibly tired because Monday was my first day at work. It was exceptionally long (10 hours), exhausting (most of that ten hours was running around on set), fun (a ate loads of free gourmet food), and educational (I have a whole new appreciation for cooking shows). Today I worked on
"Daily Cooks", a Prospect Pictures cooking show on one of the UK's five major networks:
ITV. I will post more on Tuesday or Wednesday, my task when I arrived at
Capital Studios was to watch and help out on the first rehearsal of DC. I quickly began running errands with other PA's-called runners in the UK-made some last minute runs for groceries and cooking utensils, met with my new boss Nina, met a slew of incredibly friendly people, and watched the rehearsal and final taping of not one, but two episodes of "Daily Cooks." Oh, I'm exhausted.

What I will say now is that I am very impressed with the efficiency of this crew and have an enormous newfound appreciation for the level of preparation and organization that goes into a cooking show. Everyone was very helpful and informative today, and frankly, I wasn't expecting such a warm working environment in the UK.
After Sunday's post, I had a great time with new friends exploring Kensington and Hyde Park, more photos to come.
