No news continues to be ….
Even the hitherto prolific SP has gone QRT.
Out of the recently connected people, we're only left with the vaguely bizarre antics of ROB for entertainment.
Time to pack up and go home, perhaps?
I did enjoy the launch earlier today, though. I've been watching the ISS passing over the southern UK for several days. Very bright. I watched it go over again this evening at about 21.12 UTC and hoped to see the Space-X Crew Dragon chasing it five minutes later. However no joy with the Dragon. Sky still too light and Dragon too low in a slightly cloudy sky. Anyone else seen it/them?
I know this latter part of my post might attract critique from the moderators, but please have mercy. There's nothing else to discuss!

Yeah, ROB didn't seem to have a problem with not staying home the past few days. LOL Nobody can blame him, at least I don't, especially as where he has been living is not his actual home. Also, it seems to have gotten a bit crowded there. Probably not much social distancing to be had, even if one wanted to. I wonder when they'll all head back to NY?
I did think one of the more recent stories of SP showed him [possibly] getting a little cozy with that Bojana girl whose hair got cut by ROB, but maybe that's just imagination, especially with lack of anything else in the kiwi dept. happening much of late. I actually wonder if those 2 have high-tailed it out of there. Although it was only a few weeks ago that that photo shoot took place. I even was wondering if it wasn't Hayley's voice I heard, after all, esp. after hearing Ms. B talk in some other more recent stories.

It was too bright here at 6 degrees west of London to get a look at it.

Unfortunately, the new launch date meant an earlier time of launch, so the sky would be too bright and the Dragon too low to the horizon for any chance of a photo. I assessed the chances as close to zero, so I didn't try!

Thanks Dave, at least we have mentioned the Dragon here on HWI for a record of the time in history when it happened.

There's nothing else to discuss! It would appear you have nothing to worry about, Crissy! Nobody is posting much in the way of personal day-to-day stuff at the moment. Except, ROB, of course. LOL No idea where he is now. I never have the sound on, so I never know what he talks about; plus, if one Kiwi is not there I skip over pretty quick. LOL

ROB's all about the Seattle protests today. In one of his stories showing the crowds from up above (apparently via a friend), he says, "Seattle staying LIT". Well, certainly better than it was over the weekend, that's for sure. That was a war zone. http://www.instagram.com/p/CA_BRRxD7M9

ROB's stories reveal that he is in Seattle now, himself! He really seems to enjoy Kerry Park, which is where the scene in the photo posted above can best be viewed.
Not a peep or a sign of kiwis anywhere.

ROB is still enjoying Seattle, it seems, although I'm no longer sure if he's relevant to the current Hayley story. It doesn't appear they are following each other anymore. No, I didn't go through their lists of hundreds (in ROB's case, thousands) of people they follow/follow them. What happens when you visit a person's instagram profile is, they show you some of your friends who follow this person (even if you're not following said person). So, I see a few of you following ROB, as well as Stan. But Hayley isn't listed for ROB. She would be if she was. Also, when you click on the list of people who are following that person, the ones you're connected with usually appear first. Otherwise, I'd have to go through over 10 k people who are apparently following ROB (although some could be bots, like the ones constantly attempting to follow me; though I just recently changed my profile to private, so I only get requests now... again, constantly LOL). Hayley is still following Stan, and Hayley and Chris are still following each other, not to worry. Also, Chris follows lots of other people who Hayley is not also following, so for those (one) of you worried about who controls his page, it's not Hayley. LOL Her following list goes up and down a lot. You'll see the number sink, and yet she's followed new people. So, she removes people/pages a lot.

...Aaanddd... Her website is down! A couple of people on twitter yesterday and today asking about a new album, and one asked about the website. Interestingly enough, I randomly checked that on my own before I saw that tweet, though. I tried to load it twice, but it takes forever, and then says connection failed. Welp (as annoying people like to say)... I'm afraid that points a little too dangerously to her closing up shop. And still, never a word one or the other to us. I'm not going to say what else I'm afraid might happen (in regards to her already limited online presence), because then it'll probably happen. Although I guess I basically already said it. I just hope, no mattter what, that she will be okay.

Or changed her name! ? Anyway godaddy appear to own it now, IIRC they were her website host after Universal ran it so when it expired (March or May, but 12 May was the anniversary of its creation in 2001). If she did forget, she can probably still retrieve it from godaddy if she's quick - because as you will have seen, they have put it up for auction, ends 15 June. So if you or anyone can get a message to her, she could still do that - if she still wants it. It doesn't cost much to maintain a website domain name.

I can try. I know she's still on instagram, since she just followed a couple new people today. I can message her on Twitter, too. She doesn't use that much, but the last time I messaged her there (a couple years ago now), it eventually showed as being seen by Hayley, although it was a long time later. Not that I was checking every day, though.
So, you think she's planning to use her married name? It doesn't have a bad ring to it, but she's been known as Hayley Westenra this long, why confuse people now? Well, if nothing else, that would definitely confuse Stuff NZ! They probably still don't know the wedding already happened! LOL
I just don't know what to think about the meaning this could have. The fact that she deleted her New Year's post, which was clearly intended to get us hopeful about the album (not the first time, I know LOL), seems to show that she doesn't want us to be misled... either because there's no way an album can be released this year, or she decided to call it quits forever. Hopefully that's not reall the case, but that missing photo, plus the broken website has me gravely concerned.
I did not get the GoDaddy message yesterday; all I got was that the connection failed. That might have been a firefox message.
Speaking of which... I had an awful time with this forum to begin with. It was unbearably slow, and when I was trying to log in, it gave me the little cartoon page saying it couldn't load or something. I tried going back, and refreshing, and luckily it had me logged in. But it was still slow to get to this page. Going to copy my post now in case it's still in a bad mood. LOL

I don't know about the name thing, it's just a wild guess but what i don't understand is why she'd want to let her own name go to anyone who wants it, domain names are not expensive to maintain, I have my own though I only use it for emails, it has a basic holding page like Hayley had. Even hosting a website with godaddy (but there are better hosts!) would only cost her $9 a month and the domain name would be free.
So I think/hope she's probably just missed the renewal date - 12 May but she needs to get a move on if that's the reason. Otherwise, anyone could end up owning it. Godaddy want $195 for it at the moment, that could be the latest bid, Hayley might be able to reclaim it for next to nothing as i think there is a period during which you can do that after expiry. Of course, Hayley could always try to buy it back later on but if one of those awful domain name parking outfits owns it, it could be expensive!

The ProBoards support forum said they had a big issue with their host IBM Cloud. support.proboards.com/thread/662615/slow-loading-non-forumsI mentioned the issue of hayleywestenra.com in a tagged reply to Hayley’s last Instagram post. I hope she just forgot to renew her website.

Well, this morning Hayley has begun to follow three interesting folks in the world of music! David Foster and his wife Katharine! And Matteo Bocelli! Maybe all three can do a Gordon Ramsay-style reboot of Hayley’s music! That being said, Hayley must have seen the notification that I tagged her in my comment about her website. The price of which may go into four figures before too long.
