"Trolleys in the snow"

This was taken in 2007 ~~and I don't think by me, so if anyone wants credit for it, let us know~~ by our friend Sarah White! This is the Tesco store in Pulborough, West Sussex. Thanks for the photo, Sarah!

After yesterday, I think everyone is looking forward to the first snowy day of the season. Certainly lots of outdoor lights are up, and we've written all of our cards!

What have you done so far for Christmas? Let us know in the comments.

Bonus beats: Three days in, are you happy with your edible Advent Calendar? The Guardian puts a whole selection to the test. Apologies to @anwen whose local Tesco has now sold out.

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!
