I went to let the Girls out this morning and Olly, one of the Araucana, was missing. I checked the nestbox, and she was in there trying to lay an egg. An egg was in there too, presumably from yesterday (there hadn't been any the day before that).
It's been so long since we had eggs that I did the egg dance all the way to the house. I wantred to tell DH that he egg drought was over.
I got a bit of paper and wrote V F X in huge letters on it. I then turned it over and wrote
S, V F X on the other side.
DH wandered downstairs and I held up the first side. . He read the letters and looked at me blankly. I turned the paper over, and he read out the letters. Still blank.
I got another piece of paper and scrawled
V U N E X ?
on it. He said "vunex", and I started to laugh and told him to read out the letters. Still no dropped penny,
I hadn't expected this, and I chuckled.
I wrote
F U N E M ?
on another piece of paper ("funem?" " no read the letters!).
I couldn't stop laughing as I wrote
S V F M
Then
F U M N X ?
Then
S, V F M N X
And then it clicked for him.
Gotta love the Two Ronnies
