So it appears a lot of you have been doing Christmas decorating this weekend. While we've got our wreath up, there hasn't been time for the tree. But maybe you've decided to go a bit arty with your tree this year, perhaps like Tate Britain has done...

Hanging upside down from the glass ceiling in the Millbank entrance, Shirazeh Houshiary’s Christmas Tree can be appreciated from different perspectives at three levels of the gallery. The tip of the tree from the lower floor, the floating body from the ground, and the glittering roots covered in gold leaf open into an abstract star formation when viewed from the upper floor.

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!
