9th December 2024

Well, the tree is up and dressed (by Sarah) and I'm doing the annual "shove everything in the conservatory until the spring" routine. We're also making sure we have everything we need to sustain us over the holiday season, so here are some top Christmas foodie treats you might want to try.

From Partridges, the best deli in Mayfair, we saw these:


Just the orange and strawberry cremes - the best!


Hex means Witches, not Hexagon!


All aboard the Lebkuchen Zug!


For the person who has everything

And further afield, in Waitrose and Zizzi


a giant profiterole, which was not giant, did not look as good as the picture, and had a tiny jug of lukewarm sauce


Gravy in a can! Milton, thou should'st be living at this hour.

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!
