Bella is licking her chops after having her dinner, next thing she does is cleaning her beard on the rug, such a funny character;)
The toast/ cheer you get in Ireland is "Schlange" - and I thought it fitting for two shelves full of the most fantastic whiskey ever. Happy Tipsy Tuesday everyone! :-)
Even these two wee foster kittens have gotten into the spirit of Tongue Tuesday. More below, all clickable, of course.

During the 2020 Pandemic, the park grounds and gift shop, which is well stocked books and train related items for all ages, are open.
The park normally includes tours of a functioning roundhouse and turntable. Excursion trains run on weekends and some weekdays. Currently suspended during the Pandemic.
As you can see, Dizzy has been out in the garden enjoying the warm sunshine this morning, but she wanted to take a minute to wish all her Flickr friends a Happy Tongue Tuesday. :)
She didn't know what I was talking about, of course, but she also asked me to say that she hates the way the new Flickr design cuts off borders. Grrr.
Last night four cats spent the entire night on the bed: Cumin, Gumbo, Wisteria Blue, and Diamond. What a privilege. . .

What?! Another Tongue?!
Even Mr. Grigsby, our newbie, gets in on the tongue action. . .

I seriously tried to have an open mind about the flickr changes, but I sadly have determined that I do NOT like the overall flickr layout now.
Multiple issues:
First, I tend to post in series to avoid clogging the front of my stream with numerous photos. Now those comment photos are generally hidden after the first few comments are posted. I would want them to somehow allow the comment photos to remain visible.
Second, when I am following flickr, the words are just as important to me as the photos. Given the description is not visible when viewing a photostream (requiring clicking on each photo and scrolling down to see the individual descriptions), I am dissatisfied.
Third, amplifying my second concern, I cannot as readily use flickr to advertise felines. Why? Sets do not give the complete set description when the set is shown. That is where I post a timeline of information on the feline(s). Oh, I have found a way to open up the description, but it shows comments made on the set as well and does not have the set photos visible. Requiring multiple steps for people to see the info I want them to see is a nuisance.
There are glitches as well (anyone who has used the "organize" feature will have noticed some), but those are simply glitches that can be fixed in time. It's the above changes (plus others, I suspect) that have me disappointed with the current flickr. Granted, all are fixable. If flickr would allow photos to be posted in the description, the buried comments wouldn't matter. But, does flickr care?
I'll take some time to ponder the situation. It may even drive me to start a facebook page to advertise adoptable felines. For those of you who do facebook, would that be more manageable? For now, in orer to view the comment photos I posted, unless you are the first few to comment on the photo, will have to press the view additional comments line below. Personally, I think it's worth it to see Vidalia's HTT faces. All clickable, of course.

I think my favorite is #2.

I was so depressed by my last post, that I had to put up a different photo at the front of my stream. But, then, I am still rather depressed about this feline, too. Oh, it's nothing like the wee runt losing his battle to live. No, but Mr. Grigsby is depressed about wearing the collar. And I am depressed about why he is wearing the collar. And I know that Mr. Grigsby has pain. I hate watching him limp. We opted to give him a second steroid injection. That means he has steroids in his system, antifungal on his paw, and an antibiotic on board for good measure. Right now two toes are very much involved. But at least it hasn't spread more. And I am optimistic that he will start to heal and dry up. I truly believe this is an autoimmune/allergy issue. It gets secondarily infected thanks to the litter box, so the antibiotics help. The antifungal cream is more an act of desperation. Why am I so hesitant to have a biopsy/toe amputation done? Because he has had the same condition on other feet since he came to live with us. What would we do then? Remove toes from his other feet, too, when it happens there? I really don't think we have a cancer (which is why the vet wants to do the biopsy). This is the same thing as we have faced before, just somehow worse this time. Not sure if I just have been lax about giving him treats that are processed and potentially contain whatever his allergen is (remember, Mr. Grigsby is allergic to traditional cat food). I need to be cautious and use only pure treats. Yep, he is the reason my cats are on BaRF diet. And he's the reason their treats can be so doggone expensive. I'm still holding out and hoping for his paw to heal. And soon.

This particular area is notorious for multiple crashes. Pancake (my dog) and I generally walk on the other side of the railing here, or if we do walk on his side, we wear something brightly colored (usually). There are no sidewalks or bike lanes here. This is a frequent path for many pedestrians (most going to bus stops). To the best of my knowledge all have made it to where they were going. Many vehicles do not - this is a high crash area.
