If you don't have a strainer of any kind, then whisk the mixture very well to ensure there are no lumps.

I usually do but I have done it without filtering it. The concern is the those little pieces of egg connective tissue that hang off the yolk. I always pick them out with a spoon before I even start.

If you don't have a filter, just pick those pieces out and you should be fine.

the fly screen off the window

Just don't heat the egg too hot and it wont split. You shouldn't get lumps.
