Day 9 A face from the past

9th August 2017

A couple of weeks ago I had a message from Gill, a lady I did some work for. Gill is an hipnotherapist, and I used to record her various topics so she could sell CD’s to her clients.

I hadn’t heard from her in over three years, and assumed that she had given it up.

She asked if I could remaster some of her older programs, as she was starting up again.

I brought her up to date with my plans, which left a very limited window to do anything, but as my recording gear was still operational, I could do something.

I suggested that we meet up for coffee and talk through what she wanted.

Gill is a lovely lady with a soothing Scottish accent, her voice, so calming, had a real effect on me. The tracking sessions used to take a few hours to record, then I would spend a more hours to edit and mix. There were many times when I fell asleep during the mixing session.

The funniest thing that happened to her, and I can’t believed it could happen, was when she took the wrong car home. She always parked in the Tollgate pub car park, and after the session, she walked a few hundred yards to her car. She unlocked the door, started it up and drove it off towards Trowbridge. She noticed that her scarf was not on the passenger seat, which worried her. It was then she notices a few more things that she was not used to, like the colour of the upholstery .Then the penny dropped, this was not her car. In a panic, she drove back to the pub hoping that the owner hadn’t noticed it had been taken, and called the police. Fortunately she managed to get back undetected, although she did park it in a different spot, and facing a different way. She quickly found her car, and sped off as quick as she could, with her scarf on the passenger seat.

We always laughed at the thought of the owner finding their car in a different place, and smelling of woman’s perfume.
