today, I heard of pinned posts. Apparently, they work in the Fediverse as they do on Dreamwidth, keeping a post at the top of you profile. Do these exist on Friendica? If so, how are they enabled, and can you pin more than one post? Can this be done via TweeseCake?

I was confused by seeing a British ad referring to "stores and shops", because everybody says it's black-and-white that Americans say "stores" and Brits say "shops". But after doing some research, it turns out that Brits do use the term "store" as well, but only in reference to what Americans would call a department store.

One glass of wine, and i'm belting out Ivor Novello songs with the original artists! Thank goodness, I had the common sense to switch from Mary Ellis and Vanessa Lee to Olive Gilbert and Trefor Jones, whose ranges I can sing without ruining my voice! I don't even want to be a supprano! Why on Earth didn't I just transpose them as always? And now, I shall return to my own personal Eisteddfod, as I listen to the tripple harp, while reading The Mabinogion (, in English, of course_). I blame this squarely on Ivor Novello and his mother! They sent me down this delightful rabbit whole of Welsh exploration. I was perfectly happy being bored and quiet. Now, I've got all sorts of theatre people to research and an entirely new genre of music and instrument to learn about! And hello to anyone Welsh reading this. Thank you for your beautiful music and lovly stories! I'm enjoying them emensley.
Update. Haha. That didn't work. After a few songs, I went back to Novello. Ah well. I'm still smiling.
There is a song that reminds me of Clara Novello Davies, and every time I hear it, I think of her. It embodies all that she stood for, not just becasue of the singing, but because of her philosophy on life. It's I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing. But tonight, I was very naughty, and created my own lyrics to it. "I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony, but I won't try, and here is why, because I sing off key!" haha

What a strange instrument the tripple harp is. It's huge, and its sound is entirely different than the harps I'm accustomed to hearing. Sadly, I haven't heard many, but I have heard a few, and this is like none of them. It must take years to learn how to play it.
