And what's interesting about this tool, it's slightly broken.
But my dad died in 2018.
And when we had our conversation, me and my brother and sister, about what is there anything we want from dad's possessions, I said, look, there's only one thing I really want, which is the toolbox.
Because to me, that big, red, messy toolbox, which is full of so many things, was all about what dads did back in the day, which was to show their sons and daughters how things work and take the top off things and fix them and screw them in.
He died and this thing has passed.
It's gone, this repairing.
The plugs are sealed.
No one can change a light fitting anymore.
They don't.
And to be honest, last time I tried to change a light fitting, stupidly, I did it at night.
So I was plunged into darkness and I nearly blew myself up.
So, yeah, and I miss my dad, you know, when he died at 80, had Parkinson's, was really hard at the end.
And they always say, you know, after time, your memories of him fit and healthy replaced the later memories of him struggling.
But actually, I still am stuck with thinking of my dad really suffering when he was ill.
So, you know, this is a lovely thing.
So that brings you joy.
It brings me a lot of joy to think my dad is still with me, yeah.
It's in my, well...
In the basement.
So, okay, now there's a reason for you to visit the basement.
