You spot snow leopards as a job?!
Sadly not snow leopards, but other equally well-camouflaged animals / birds etc (I'm a wildlife surveyor) so the idea's the same.

Spotted it straight away. It's part of what I do for a living though ...

Short list:
1998 - Rover Metro 1.1C
2004 - Clio 1.2 Authentique
2008 - Fabia vRS
2013 - Focus 1.6 Zetec
Dream car - Triumph Stag

I do this regularly. I have been doing since I was old enough to. It's a nice thing to do on the way home from work. I also sometimes go out for a meal by myself, or to the cinema. I do have friends and a partner, just sometimes it's nice to have time to myself.

I didn't want to buy a Focus at all. I wanted an S2 Elise or a Z4 to replace the Fabia. But seeing as our other car is an RX8, and we go on camping holidays and annual trips to Orkney, I had to change my ideas. Needed something with boot space that doesn't melt your groceries, doesn't drink fuel and has decent handling. Focus fit the bill. Had it a year now, love it. (happy story)

Needs lowered.

That Jeep looks like it's about to cry.

That's an impressive amount of shredding!
I love shredding, there's something about it I find quite therapeutic. I tend to let my paper pile up for a while so I can spend a good while shredding it all. But you've beaten me there.

Welcome! I might be up in Orkney again later on in the year, I'll look out for you

Interesting, we're both left-handed and prefer it on the left.(Ex) SWMBO and I are both left-handed and it seemed natural to have the drainer on the right.
For the OP's kitchen though I agree it would look better on the right so it's central to the window.

Focus + RX8 = around approximately 330 ish
