Gandy
English (of Norman origin): of uncertain origin. The most plausible suggestion is that it is a nickname for someone who was in the habit of wearing gloves, from Old French ganté, a derivative of gant ‘glove’ or an occupational name for a glove-maker, Old French gantier. However, a certain Hugh de Gandy was High Sheriff of Devon in 1167; it is possible that his surname is a habitational name from some unidentified place in France or even from Ghent in Flanders.

My two bitches…
Actually neither of them are – Guido is a dog, and Elle hasn’t got a bitchy bone in her body. But the headline got your attention didn’t it! 
Kids today!
What is it with kids today! (OMG – I hear my dad´s voice ringing through my head again…) We have just had the boys to stay for most of the summer, gave them the freedom of the town, and the beach which are in walking distance… And what do they do – sit around the house playing on the computer….
It´s just not natural – at their age I´d have been down the beach from morning until night with dark glasses and a big brimmed hat staring and scantily clad women and girls. Should I be ordering DNA tests – they couldn´t possibly be mine could they?
