The window that was being bricked up yesterday in the apartment building that I see from my desk has been finished. However, rather than bricking up the whole area they have halved the window space and now a new frame and pane sits on one side of the original structure. It is now a New York bathroom sized window rather than a full one. When I squinted out across the snowy, sun filled parking lot to check on it this morning it took me a while to locate the new window. I was looking for an area of brick, window sized and slightly lighter in colour than the brick of the building. My eye was confused and had to scan all of the floors. I was both relieved and disappointed when I realised that some compromise involving the former window’s fate had been arrived at.
