4th December 2024

It's the school Carol Concert today, and we will spend all day rehearsing with 140 talented students. It's such a major event, and it keeps Adam busy playing for all the congregational carols as well as for five choirs and the orchestra.

It will finish, as always, with Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (note the punctuation). If you are singing it in your head right now, don't worry, you haven't been Harked! That's when you hear it out loud in December, and the aim of Harkageddon is to try and get all the way from 1st December to Christmas Eve without it popping up in a shop or a church service:

If you do get Harked, you can then play Harkhunter - where you try to catch it as many times as possible. Here are the rules:

Advent Calendar 2025

1st December 2025

Hello! We've sort of lost count, but think the first Advent Calendar was back in 2003, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine says it looked like this: Of course all the links are dead, but the thing it has in common with this year's is that it is still coded in HTML, probably the last thing I will ever rely on coding for. Now it looks like this: Happy Advent! We have gone for the Bonne Maman JAM Calendar again this year, after leaving it too late last year and it selling out at both Fenwick and Selfridges! We get a fresh pot of jam every day to enjoy with our tartines and Ovomaltines. We also have the Domino's "Merry Crustmas" leaflet, and a MUJI calendar we'll show you later in the month. Do let us know what you are opening every day! You can leave a message below, or email us your ideas and suggestions for future days at robotmaths@outlook.com Have a great day!
