Quite close to the truth...
 Oh, and I am male... it just happens that I read newspaper only in bus/tram/underground. And, females have shorter tentacles.

Come and see

Now, before anyone cautions about the topic, let me announce the bit of Tolkien that has a particular physical inspiration on me. Every spring I avidly seek out and read all of Sam's comments about gardening. Moving from winter cocooning to spring activity requires a substantial amount of effort to overcome winter lethargy and the kind of procrastination that readers such as I are prone to and I find Mr. Gamgee's faithful words to be a fount of powerful, positive thinking. In fact, I suspect that the depiction of Sam could well have been instrumental in the writing of a popular treatise on happiness and success. So there you have it. I use my gardening shears to allow me to eavestrop on neighbours' conversations and I feel absolutely that I am modelling Tolkien.
