Three links for a snowy afternoon

dolorosa_12I will follow this linkpost with something of an update (which should hopefully represent a return to more regular writing here), but for now, have some links to things which have been delighting me recently.
I tend to use Instagram as an oasis of calming and beautiful things, so I'm always on the lookout for accounts which fit those criteria. Two new-to-me accounts, which you may enjoy, are as follows:

urhanoglukozdekunefe: a Turkish bakery making variants on baklava. It's basically loads of videos of the baker (who looks as if he's a time-travelling member of a '90s boyband) baking things on an open stove.
theswissshepherdess: should be fairly self-explanatory from the name. Lots of videos of sheep, dogs and other farm animals running around snowy mountains.
The third link made me laugh a lot, but possibly requires a bit of context. Basically, singer Amanda Palmer (who I tend to find pretty insufferable) claimed that after the US inauguration, she went into her local cafe (she's currently living in New Zealand) and was spontaneously applauded by everyone there. This was greeted with a lot of justifiable skepticism and eye-rolling.
The response was incredibly New Zealand — this hilarious 'fact-checking' article, which made me laugh and laugh.
