Situation: I am facing a shelf while there is a window and a curtain to my right.
Alternative situations: Enjoying the sunshine from a window on my right with my hand on a chair on my left, I am looking for some paper on a shelf in front of me. I am looking at a shelf right in front of me with a window to my right and a chair to my left.
Question: What is nearer to me, the bed or the window?
