The blooming Applegreen website logo is indicating that Spring has finally sprung. I can't wait.

Meanwhile here's the current post challenge, and it is deceptively easy sounding, so think before you agree. We shall proceed as usual but with the stipulation that we refrain completely from any silly egg puns. Simple as that.

Now you may think that's a piece of cake, but remember at the same time we must talk eggs.
They're everywhere at the moment. It's almost as if the egg is the new wheel. Eggs are being touted as the new beef. Eggs are being hailed on Dublin streets.

What about cholesterol ? Well I'm not a doctor but the NYT  had this to say recently for what it's worth.

There is no doubt about it the all encompassing egg has reinvented itself as an icon.
We've gone so to speak, back to the egg.

There you have it, now that's better. It's the Applegreen sponsored  John Rocha  designed egg well camouflaged in a very fine Dublin store, just waiting to be discovered.

Personally I have always professed to being an egg man. The art of egging has always been with me. Whether it's protest egging, schnitzel egging or the simple egging on of another human being, you are really never too far from an egg nowadays. It's generally at this point in the post that I reiterate that this general egging epidemic we are experiencing is all for the most worthy of causes and a  follow on twitter ensures up to the minute excitement.

Anyway, the boss decided to detour downtown on his way in to the office last week. I suspect he was attempting to beat everyone to the Applegreen egg. Just imagine his disappointment when he got there to find that he had been beaten to it by a very excited Tonge family. Certainly there is no denying the Tonge ladies delight, while the guys keep it cool. I wonder if they had a tip off?

The boss's humour improved when he realized he had been beaten by Applgreen's top marketeer and all agreed that the John Rocha designed egg  is indeed a wonder to behold. It also has more crystals than a hippy's bedroom and sparkles and glistens as one would expect an Applegreen sponsored egg to do. Can you guess from the pictures where it is located?

A happy Tonge family smile for the camera before the John Rocha designed Applegreen sponsored egg.

And so, on the Big Egg Hunt rolls, ( if you've ever tried to roll an egg you will know it's more of a wobbly swagger) to an exciting climax. Bidding is under-way as we speak and the Egg auction is just round the corner. Who'll give me twenty five.
Looks like we made it, pun-free, to the end. I'm drained. It wasn't easy.When you write about eggs, pun
opportunities just seem to pop up in every sentence. We were strong, we resisted.
We can be proud of ourselves. I will leave you with this as a reward.
