This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Beloved Villains
Day 91: Having exhausted Netflix's library of modern "Doctor Who" episodes, I jumped in the TARDIS and took a trip back to the William Hartnell years for a look at the very first Doctor. I have to say I'm enjoying the old stories immensely despite their lack of sophisticated special effects. My greatest delight, however, is in seeing the original Daleks. Remarkably, they have changed very little over the years. Their ship is another matter. When they first invaded Earth, they travelled from Skaro in a pie tin, the "flying saucer" so popular in 60s culture. That said, the Daleks were just as malevolent in those days as they are now...the most-loved villains of all time.
