We raced to the top of the hill with the dog to photograph the amazing sunset over Oban. We almost caused an accident when a red setter chased us and then ran into the road.

Then it was back to the flat where another photo opportunity presented itself: a hedgehog was playing on our lawn. However, by this time my camera battery was flat so it was impossible to take any pictures.

MP walked into the bedroom while I was fiddling with the camera. I had something serious to say to him. I grabbed this opportunity to suggest that nobody of his wealth should be taking out £700 loans with exorbitant interest rates to pay for consumer goods.

In response he muttered something unintelligible about my bathroom butterfly collection.
