I bet if you approached the window seat as if you were building a daybed or couch, with a tiny mattress, thick cushioned sides you could put your back against, etc. it'd become an actually nice place to sit.

I'm guessing this place belongs to a blind guy, he can't see out the front door, but his dog likes to look. To be fair though, a lot of pics in that gallery could belong to a blind guy.

Given his use of "bloody" and "fuming" (although I'd argue his neighbours were the fumees) I'd say he's in England, and there's no shortage of walled up fireplaces in older homes there.

While I don't really begrudge Swastika, Ontario playing the "We had it first" card, 1922 honestly isn't a lot of time before Hitler hosed up the swastika for everyone.
