Later yesterday - after a drive up to Aberdeen's rather impressive Cults Academy campus - I had the pleasure of speaking at the North East Scotland Liberal Democrat Regional Conference.
It was a well-attended event and party leader Willie Rennie was on top form, speaking about defending Scotland's colleges from SNP cuts, against police centralisation and the need to support affordable housing.
