Why do the French need only one egg to make an omelette? *

Ollie the budgie has laid an egg. It's about the size of my pinkie finger to the first knuckle, white and so delicate it looks as though it's made of rice paper.

Of all the possibilities of things that could happen while Next Doors are away, I must admit this wasn't one I had considered.


* Because in France, one egg is un oeuf. (Sorry.)
