My mystery gift giver continues to give me oddly specific period items. First, the naval captain's uniform from the turn of the 19th century, and then the Aerial Corps uniform from the same era.
Today I discovered a Gold Medal of the Nile, from actions I'd taken, that I
remember taking, during the Battle of the Nile in 1798. It's imprinted with my name and that of my ship, the
HMS Goliath. While I'm sure that printing a replica of the medal would be possible, if no small task, I cannot imagine how anyone would know...
But it's impossible for me to have taken part in any such action in the first place. I'm certainly not nearly 250 years old.
Thinking too hard on this does my head in. Moving on to something that is far easier to wrap my head around, I think I've decided to purchase a couple of horses. I don't suppose there's anyone here who has some expertise in the matter; I've ridden before, but never been responsible for acquiring my own horses.
[Sisko] I've also decided to take your advice and to go ahead with constructing a greenhouse with the money I found last month. Thank you for your sound input, Ben.
