Hard day today !!!.
Sorting tools, spares, logging them in, finding a home for them, making a wooden frame to hold some of the larger items...................phew !!!
And........and...........i've just cooked supper !!!
Fresh ravioli (chicken & ham filling) and a home made arrabiata.....some left oers from the other day, loads of onion, garlic, peppers, chilli ??? mushrooms...etc etc
A whopper of a Ciabatta from the local supermarket...........gawd i'm stuffed....all accompanied with a good glug of chianti to wash it down.....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :-)
Now, here's an introduction to my old friend Morgan, i'm not a historian, so most of this is gleaned from the good old tinternet.
However, Morgan has confirmed that most of it is pretty close to the truth, so over the next few days / weeks i'll tell you his story :
"Morgan is a Patronymic name of Welsh, Scot, and Irish origin -- from an old Celtic given name (Morien in Wales) composed of elements meaning sea + bright. Morgan is one of the most common, and oldest of the Welsh names. There is a Scottish Clan Morgan established in medieval times with connections to the McKays, and was likely developed independently of the Welsh surname. The Irish version is from O'Murchan or O'Morghane, from the Gaelic O'Murchain."
The Welsh given name Morgan derives from a hypothetical Common Celtic *Moricantos, with the first element probably meaning "sea" but the second element uncertain. It appears in Old Welsh as Morcant (pronounced "mo:r-GANT"), in Early Medieval Welsh as Morgant (pronounced "MO:R-gan" -- the "t" is most likely silent by this time), and in later Medieval Welsh as Morgan, the same form it has in Modern Welsh. [Bartrum, Bromwich]
At various times, the origin and meaning of the name has been popularly misinterpreted. During the Puritan period it was misunderstood as meaning "sea-born" (the same meaning as Morien below) and it was used to translate the name Pelagius in the Book of Common Prayer. [Withycombe] In the 16th century there are examples of the name as a surname being spelled Morgaine or Morgayne [Morgan & Morgan] in English contexts, which may be due to a confusion with the literary name Morgain (q.v.).
Iron Age tribes:
Morgan possibly connected to these
Cornovii - Cheshie / Shropshire
Cornavii - Caithness / N. Scotland"........
and so..................
