Every night she comes. Mhairi. Every night she comes to visit me. And if I’m sleeping. She wakes me. Her shadow cast across my bedroom floor. He’s here too. I’m sure of it. Lurking in the dark corners. Watching. Waiting. He’s here all right. The dark grey man. The bodach-glas.
The mournful one.

The Mournful One

A Baghdad Radio Release

When you read about what I got up to you’re going to say I got what I deserved. You’re right – I totally agree. Many of you wont like me, no doubt and that’s ok – I understand, I really do.
I’m not all bad, though.

I left the Isle of Skye in the early eighties to begin my nursing course in Edinburgh and it's fair to say I embraced the Capitals temptations with arms wide open. When I moved into a shared flat I met Bill, a musician and got involved with his band Low Down, you know, helping them out, doing a bit of driving and humping gear about - it was great fun. Low Down were truly phenomenal. Man, I totally loved their music.

We took drugs, I mean, I took drugs. Nothing heavy, just recreational like.
I met a number of girls who I didn’t treat right and I’m not proud of my behaviour – honest.
Nursing is a female dominated profession and male nurses were thin on the ground.
The opportunities for getting up to mischief were many.
I worked hard and played harder.

A lot of stuff I regret now. Especially what I did to Lisa – and others.
Anyway it couldn’t last, could it?
They way I was living – something had to give. And it did.
