We can't have our usual party but we are trying to see friends safely before Christmas if possible. So thanks to our friends Megan and Mark who have been entertaining us today. They have possibly the ultimate remote control holder on their sofa ever! It also holds cups, glasses, specs cases etc, and it's made of a lovely soft crushed velvet material while still being really sturdy.

Some people use theirs to serve afternoon tea on their sofa:

Megan and Mark haven't gone for the pink heart-shaped one. Instead, to match their sofa, they have a brown rectangular one. The velvet can be wiped to make patterns. Here is Megan's:

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!
