“Tempus fugit” - Latin proverb meaning “time’s a wasting” or “time flies” as we on Outlook discuss disability and endless other things.

Our third co-host Barry (and guide dog Oyster) are back with us today. Times flying for Barry here in Canada, but this week we hear more from him about his life after blindness, in Ireland, and as he broadened out and began to travel on his own.

How he learned to be blind?

"It can be done."

We'll hear more about adventures with Barry and Oyster, her adventures in discovering for herself, as we talk guide dog vs white cane and other tools in our tool kits.

Why don't you have another guide dog?

We discuss Kerry and Barry ice skating and its similarity to tandem cycling, dealing with continued inaccessibility with our electronic braille devices and Bluetooth on our iPhones, and we finish off discussing a recent FB post from a blind person which had some in the blindness community talking. Thanks to Connor Scott-Gardner for their thoughtful words.

You can find their Facebook page with so many insightful posts including the one we covered on this show here:
