yeah the gutter part was my primary concern. just chatting to my brother who suggested screwing some pine to the bricks then mounting the clips on that. Trouble with the suction is half of it is that bottle glass so nothing sticks to those windows.
Ah damn. You can try traditional vinyl backed blockout curtains but they can be a bit stinky, especially right after being washed.
If you don’t have curtain hooks a tension rod will work but it depends on the width of the window. It’s expensive and tougher to find tension rods over a meter and I had hooks so cheap blockouts over the blinds it is.
I more used the tension rods to suspend blankets (with a quickly sewn fold-over casing) in doorways as curtains, in order to heat or cool a smaller space while still letting the cat get to her bowls and litterbox.
Be warned though - leaving one room unheated/cooler in winter can contribute to condensation and mould issues.

Definitely weatherstrip the doors too if you can
