A collaboration about friendship, laughter and the future.
Sometimes things are hilarious, sometimes they are beautiful, sometimes they are difficult and sometimes,
you find yourself hair drying a pair of knickers on a Tuesday afternoon in the swimming pool changing rooms.
We met 7 years ago.
We've laughed and cried and fought and laughed and swam through the hurdles that we have met together.
“Blind dogs for blind people”, the blind leading the blind.
We know all of the right answers and all of the wrong ones too.
Flowers, poached eggs and dancing in the yellow blanketed living room.
Only through other people, we learn new things about ourselves; about life, about patience,
about obscure animated characters, about thinking ahead and thinking right now.
Learning and failing, laughing and succeeding in parallel.
Like flipping a coin and getting heads and tails at the same time.
A celebration of honesty and saying it how it is.
Of house slippers and ground black pepper.
Of something rare, something that we often mistake as old-fashioned.
Of the things that make everyone on the bus laugh.
All the best stuff, the funniest, the brightest and the yellow yolk-est stuff, happens when you don't even expect it.
Now, defrost the bread, spread the butter and open those bloody curtains.
Blind dogs for blind people is a collaboration between Minnie, who has Downsyndrome & Ocean, who has big front teeth.
