The Quantum Theologist

The Quantum Theologist

Simon Stanton

Science Fiction / Ebooks / Thriller

In a world similar to our own, yet strikingly different, two journalists meet in the congregation at the Central Research Cathedral. They're there to report on the latest, and greatest experiment in Religious Physics. As the two old sparring partners watch, the Quantum Theologist enters the room, ready to answer the greatest question ever. What happens next isn't quite what anyone was expecting.I don't very often say this, but I REALLY liked this outfit. One of my recent makes (I've finished four dresses in the last five days, I seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment), I love the bright cheerful colours of this dinosaur fabric, which I bought at the Sewing for Pleasure show. I've now made dresses from all three of the fabrics I bought when I was there. Mostly because I have quite the fabric wishlist at the moment, but have promised myself I won't order any until I've used what I have. I'm getting there and I'm still feeling inspired, which I'm glad about.I wore the dinosaur dress with these flat Irregular Choice shoes, for Day 23 of my #irregularchoicechallenge. It really is beginning to amaze me just how many pairs I'd forgotten I owned. These ones have probably been worn once, if that, after receiving them as a gift a good number of years ago. I liked that the colours matched that of the print of the dress and this bright hair bow I came across recently when I was clearing out the bathroom cabinet. I had a lovely, if rather full (quelle horreur) weekend. A Friday evening of sewing, Saturday morning catching up on errands and with friends and family for coffees and sandwiches, then an AGM meeting in the afternoon before a cosy night in with the returned traveller. Sunday saw another dress made in the early morning and then a rainy wander around a local National Trust property followed by a leisurely pub dinner, before a trip to the theatre to watch my friend in a dance show. I was ready to fall asleep in front of CSI by yesterday evening (it happened, but I'm sure Horatio saved the day as usual!). https://dinoprincesschar.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/id-rather-be-in-tuscany.html
