Yo!

Remember the time, long ago, when ‘Yo’ wasn’t even a word? It was only half of the word ‘YoYo’.

Emily dug out a yoyo from her extensive toy collection a day or so back. So I went one better and found one of my Coca-Cola Genuine Russell YoYos. I bought it over 20 years ago but it’s still ready to go walk the dog or go round the world.

My ‘coke’ yoyo is one of the heavier ones, the deluxe kind of model.

It seems that James has had my old Fanta yoyo stashed amongst his toys. He brought it out for me today. The Fanta yoyo is one of the lighter Championship models.

So for the last couple of days I’ve been re-living my youth by yoyo-ing all over the house.

It’s good to enjoy the simple pleasures of life now and then.
