The EU and Meteorological Standards for Equine Compatibility

So now that you have the weather balloon securely fastened to the left-hand-side leg of the dinning room table and positioned the aforesaid table in a roughly North-South orientation, I suppose you are wondering what to do next.

Admittedly, here the instruction leaflet is not as clear in the hastily-translated English as it was in the original Latvian, but even a cursory examination of the diagram will show that the donkey should not be placed too close to the dining room table. For there is a danger it may become skittish when the wind blows the weather balloon in the donkey’s general direction.

However, if you have had the foresight to make sure that your current donkey is compatible with the EU’s latest meteorological standards for equine compatibility (form No. EU45453343B) then this should be the least of your worries.

At least until after the picnic.

Some people have asked – considering the difficulties over recent public events, whether the dinning table is quite as essential as it seemed in the days of Empire. Personally, I would say not. However, I would draw the line at attaching the weather balloon to a sun-lounger as this may cause the donkey to moult over the cucumber sandwiches and that is never socially acceptable – except in some of the more outlying suburbs of Wolverhampton, but that – quite obviously - is a subject for another post.

Anyway, I hope this has clarified matters for those of you not sure how to proceed and I hope it all goes well for you and that your endeavours are blessed with good weather.
