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.

Doctor What?
Day 151: I simply could not resist the impulse. I hadn't cut the colour gamp towels apart yet, and every time I looked at the heap of fabric laying on top of the cedar chest, I thought, "Gee, that looks like Tom Baker's Doctor's scarf." My version was slightly longer (24' as opposed to 21' for the real thing), but it was just as colourful. I said to myself, "I have an appropriate wig. I have an overcoat. I have a Tardis, and I assume it's bigger on the inside than it is on the outside, although I've never used it. I'm going to reincarnate myself as The Doctor." We just won't mention that Tom Baker is over a foot taller than I am, and therefore the signature "scarf" had to be wrapped around my neck an additional time. You can probably guess what the follow-up will be. Yep, I have got to weave myself a real Doctor Who scarf.
