But instead I&#8217;ve been doing other things which were also good.  So here is a little overview.  <\/p>\n<p>For me, 2011 was notable for the re-start of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.single-bass.co.uk\">Single Bass<\/a>.  The web site went up, three songs went onto it, and in November I did my first live gig in over 5 years.  Yay!<\/p>\n<p>I also started Twitter accounts for <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/unchartedworlds\" title=\"@UnchartedWorlds on Twitter.\">Uncharted Worlds<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/singlebass\" title=\"@SingleBass on Twitter.\">Single Bass<\/a>, to join the <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/booktrail\" title=\"@BookTrail on Twitter.\">BookTrail<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/linkytrail\" title=\"@LinkyTrail on Twitter.\">LinkyTrail<\/a> microblogs I&#8217;d already invented.  That&#8217;s probably linked to me not posting here as much;  I haven&#8217;t posted all that much on Twitter either, but it&#8217;s been an endless source of interesting things to read.  <\/p>\n<p>On the one hand, that&#8217;s good:  via Twitter, I&#8217;ve read things about Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Occupy London and Occupy Nottingham, all of which I&#8217;m glad I was aware of.  <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, I didn&#8217;t actually <i>mean<\/i> to post so little to this blog in the last few months.  In fact I&#8217;ve started a few things recently, just not got as far as finishing &#038; posting them.  I think more writing here would be good for 2012, though not at the expense of Single Bass progress.<\/p>\n<p>2011 was also a year when I went semi-regularly to a Pilates class for the first time, which definitely did my back good, and used some muscles which hadn&#8217;t done much for a while.  <\/p>\n<p>Now I am going to watch some fireworks.
