Thanks for the good wishes. And yeah... infuriatingly, I didn't have my iPod. I'd fled my own flat to my parents' on account of there being extremely noisy building projects on both sides of me. For which -- thank God, although now I've gone and infected my poor mother, so also, boo. But I did have my laptop and a pair of headphones and yes, they helped a lot.
It's CDs I've been using to re-teach myself French in the first place, actually. Michel Tomas' amazing series of language courses, if you're interested. But that came under "intelligent thoughts" -- couldn't do it!
I couldn't get my computer to tolerate podfic to work for simply ages, but I'll keep looking into it. I like the idea. The only trouble is I'm fussy about voices. E.g, I couldn't listen to a 1st person Holmes-voice narrative read by anyone but a posh English-sounding man.
