Tonight was choir practice at the church building. Cara and I walked. I wore silk long johns, trousers, t-shirt (vest), shirt, suit jacket, overcoat, scarf, and gloves. Was it really cold outside? Well, not too bad -- about 1C (34F). No, the reason to bundle up so warmly is because last week at choir practice I nearly froze -- the heat didn't seem to be working. Sunday morning I decided to be safe and dressed warmly in anticipation that the heat might not be fixed (it wasn't) and was still cold. However, on Sunday we learned that the fuel oil tank is empty. That shouldn't be too hard to solve!
I took a thermometer with me to Evensong on Sunday night -- it was about 10C (50F). Now, why does it feel colder in the church building at 10C than outside at 2C? I don't know, but it does! Probably because you can't walk quickly during the church service or choir practice. So, since the weather has stayed between -3 and 4C (26 - 40F) for the past week, I am guessing that the building has lost some more heat -- maybe another two or three degrees. So, that is why I dressed so warmly last night. I still froze, especially my hands.
The ever service-minded fuel oil supplier said that he didn't have a scheduled run to Datchet until next Tuesday, so we can just freeze until then. Obviously, much harder to solve than I anticipated. Should be quite frosty for Mothering Sunday service. Glad I will be out of town!
