I’ve just added the water to my 50 grams of Blend 11 and boy do those seeds love swimming! I can actually hear them coming alive, sounding like Snap, Crackle and Pop. I’m not imaging it – I thought that maybe, just maybe, I was hearing the ocean (since I was holding the bowl to my ear like a shell), …
Ugh. We’re all sick. Some bug’s hitched a ride home from school and now we’re all under the weather. My little girl’s the worst; she’s got a raging fever, she’s vomiting, and there’s: “funny sounds in my ears mummy and my eyes hurt”.
