More photos, this time from Aylesbury; I didn’t take any on the trip down from Edinburgh, or through London, or out to Aylesbury.

Aylesbury has a branch of the Grand Union Canal, and it runs past two sides of the hotel I was staying in.
Near as I can tell, folks are living in those narrowboats; It’s a designated long-term permit area according to the signs, and there are water/power pillars. There’s also a shower+toilet block, just behind that red boat.

And when they say ‘narrow’, they’re not kidding.

There’s a boat which showed up … yesterday, I think?
I’m actually a bit surprised that they got it through the lock; It looked too long.

And, yes, I did look at what a narrowboat would cost.
The hotel, and thus the basin, is right behind my future workplace, so it’d be convenient as all hell.

There’s a theatre on the corner, with a statue outside of it.

Apparently Ronnie Barker’s first professional performance happened at a theatre on this spot.

A couple more pictures of the interview attire.

I was trying for something a bit arty here – Not sure that it worked, but I do like the colour.

Finally, the hotel.
They have signage about the awesomeness of the beds, and about not being a dick when you come in late, all with these puppets.

Gonna be honest, the ‘people relaxing with their felt-universe doppelgangers’ thing† they’re going with is a little odd, but sort of quirky and fun.

† I’m imagining that it’s a trans-universal conference of some kind. Possibly the hotel is mirrored down the centreline of the bed, and the delegates are sharing rooms.
Alternatively, maybe the Feltverse folks are visiting, and these are staged photos they’ve taken with their counterparts to share on social media.

Put me in mind of the puppet episode of Angel; Until I remembered this music video, which … puts a different spin on it, and makes it a little more creepy.
