Two new stories a few hours ago! It looks like she’s sitting in someone’s garage listening to music. The second story is really just a continuation of the first one. I tried out sending my own story in reply, of my boombox on my bed playing Sonny. 😊 I heard "Whispering Hope" I didn’t send that one, I can’t hit all of those notes. Lol

Just logged into Instagram for my near-daily check. I agree with Libby about the garage. Based on the "this is my life now" caption, perhaps she has moved into it? The furnishings look rather Spartan, but there appears to be a well-stocked collection of vinyl ("LPs" or "Albums" to us oldies) and an inexhaustible supply of coffee. Maybe the latter explains the lack of a bed. Does this rather modest new accommodation indicate a downward re-appraisal of expenditure becasue funds are running low? Although I'm sure Hayley did well financially back in the day, her income must be a lot less than it once was and the "Hayley money well" cannot be bottomless. Hence this apparent economy. Humour aside, we seem to have been favoured once again with near-daily Instagram posts recently. After all the excitement just after New Year, posting activity tailed off. Now it's resumed we have few pictures but lots of these "stories" which are often just photos played as a video for several seconds. For a while I couldn't understand the rationale. Why not just post a photo? Then it clicked. Stories evaporate after 24 hours so that there is no long term record unless someone does a "shot" and posts it on here or another "fan" site. It further occurs, therefore, that these story-posts are primarily for her genuine fan base and the evaporation limits their exposure to the casual voyeurs and Trolls (is that the right word) who haunt the main stream social media. Regardless, what does it all mean? It's been suggested on here before that maybe Hayley enjoys the intrigue of all these cryptic posts, but what's the message? One strives to find a pattern; to put a story and a timeline onto it; but one fails. Perhaps they are random after all? The only constant seems to be an indication that new self-generated material (i.e. she's writing it herself with help from chums) is in development together with wispy hints that the occasional recording session might have happened. However the proof of the pudding is in the eating and people are getting hungry. In fact Libby's probably close to starvation! Of course Hayley is perfectly entitled to do as she pleases and if the aforementioned money well is deep enough, she can spend the rest of her (hopefully long) life sitting on a beach, strumming a guitar and jotting down the odd bar or three of a song. I can think of worse ways to pass time. I don’t think she’s living in that garage, I just think she’s hanging out with someone in their garage... unless it’s her parents’ garage. Except I would bet she still uses her old room when she stays with her family. While it used to frustrate me that she did so many stories instead of her usual photos, I’m used to it now and don’t mind as much. Really, I'm thrilled to see anything from her nowadays. Also, many other celebrities do stories, too, sometimes many, or at least several every day, yet not always photos. So Hayley’s use of them is not unusual.

She appears to be outside to me, what with the greenery and sky behind her. I think she's in the same spot there as in the first story, where she appears to be sitting on a bench or chair at an outdoor table, with the same fern-type plants below her there. This could be outside of the garage owner's house. Or, now that I look into the window behind her and the light fixture I see inside... could that actually be the outside of a cafe or restaurant, and not actually a house OR a garage? LOL

LOL I agree...looks like an outdoor area of a restaurant...love the ferns and thatched palm. Such a long way from here...and this snow.

I joined Twitter but in the midst of replying to a tweet, they locked my Twitter account! If that is how it is going to be, I will have nothing to do with it So much for good intentions Joseph. Grrrr.

Here it is...short but sweet Not easy to get a good screenshot! When downloaded to my own hard disc I am seeing about 23 frames or pausable pictures per second of video, about 90+ frames for the 4 seconds of video. Ha ha, I have little to be doing but putting a grid paper along the cross screen play bar and counting the picture changes while watching the timer status for a 60 second segment.. and NO, I did not "screen shot" all 90 frames, but the MP4 video file is much more controlable once it is downloaded. but you do have to catch it within that 24 hour window that the story stays available. ther are two frames which have no movement between them in the first five frames just an almost imperceptable change of light.

Hayley posted a new story photo half an hour ago! It looks like she’s on a ferry or boat, so I assume she’s on her way back to the South Island. 🙂

No, the boat belongs to Auckland Transport (look at the lifebuoy). South Island is not one of their destinations. I did a bit of digging. Most likely she is heading to where she is staying and commuting to Auckland. Waiheke Island looks probable or possibly Rakino Island or one of the others in that group, but those look smaller than is suggested by Hayley's photos). Maybe she is staying at this place - they have a vineyard - hence the wine picture that she also posted. www.mudbrick.co.nz/Here is the Auckland Transport info at.govt.nz/about-us/campaigns/ferry-destinations/
