Hmm. These latest Instagram posts look suspiciously like "pastries at dawn". I suppose one might call it a "bun fight"! Ooooh, sorry!
How so? The Kraken (our friendly FBI agent) wakes and posts for the first time in three months. I had thought that his account was dormant. Not so.
What has he posted? A picture of baking (tortillas?), just 14 hours after Hayley posts a picture of cakes.
Coincidence? In not less than 1000 words, discuss.
Are the cakes and tortillas on the same continent? Again, in not less than 1000 words, discuss.
Are these the first salvos of an Instagram war? Once again, in not less than 1000 words, discuss.
FBI agent? In popular slang, what were they known as, back in the day, and may still be for all I know. I'm not up to speed with such matters.

Thanks for posting the story, Joe! I was just going to find the Taiwan fan page's SM repost, and post that, but you've saved me the trouble. Crissy, you're making just as much sense as ever. I don't think I have 1000 words to say about it. Speaking of FBI, Blindspot is a 2 hour episode tonight, if anyone's interested. But I'm guessing you're all 4 seasons behind, so it'll make just as much sense as your post. Okay, here's something to discuss: who is she living with in Christchurch? She said she's home, but... is she? Remember the wedding... Also, I can't help but remember last year when she was in New Zealand, she seemed down about something (based on a story or two), until she posted this rainbow photo: http://www.instagram.com/p/Byyr6zOFlFp Also, not sure when I do a search if I'm finding the right sophbee. I looked at the old pic of her with Hayley in Brazil to check, but I'm not sure. Doesn't B stand for Brinkers, or something like that? I'm finding a bazillion matches for sophbee, and none of them actually seems to match. I'm starting to wonder if she even has an account anymore, or if she goes by something else. Clever. But last time I checked, her account was private, so it's not like we could follow her.

I remember that Sophie Brinkers was a bridesmaid at Hayley and Arnaud’s wedding.

I've just assumed she blocked me along with other Hayley fans. Maybe we were too intrusive? Who knows 🤷♀️

That may be, and it's understandable. But since it's difficult to even find her on there, either she no longer has an account, or she changed her name so cleverly that we'll never figure it out. Oh well. LOL That said, Hayley is not following anyone by that name, or anyone even close. Yes, I did scroll through all 555 this time.

If you are blocked from an account, the account doing the blocking will not show up in any search whatsoever, not even on a friends list. That is what led me to think we were blocked. I could very well be wrong, and honestly it doesn't really matter. I just find it strange that Hayley would tag her friend if her friend doesn't have an account. I love that Hayley is hanging out with her mom! 😊

Hi all Gosh it's been a while since I posted here but I have been looking through posts here. Admittedly not for a few months now as I generally thought most things would be on social media. Having looked through the pages since the beginning of this year it turns out I have missed a lot more than I thought I would have! Most of what I'm about to type will probably be just rambling thoughts so sorry for that I had been having problems logging on a while back but thought I'd try again today and turns out I can log in again now. Hopefully, I'll be able to more often, although there isn't a tremendous amount to say at the moment. She does *touchwood* appear to be posting more frequently at the moment...I probably shouldn't say that, it could be another few months before we hear anything again now It is lovely to see Hayley back in New Zealand, I hope she is getting some rest and support from family and friends. I must say I did think it a little strange that there didn't seem to be many signs of Hayley being very much in contact with her family (I know NZ and LA are far apart and to be honest she doesn't show much of anything on social media for long periods) but I did think that she might have posted something for mother's day and her mother's birthday, and something for Sophie's birthday (especially as she is 30 this year, a 'milestone' age) and Isaac's. But then again given the nature of a lot of her posts now it wasn't really that surprising I guess. It is nice to see she is spending time with her mum now though. I hope that she is there for a while, especially given everything with the pandemic. I'm not sure I should really say this and please edit out if you think not, but does Hayley's mum look very thin to you? I just think with other discussions about Hayley being very thin now, (I have been worried about some of the photos she has posted recently, having had my sister struggle with an eating disorder she does look very similar to how my sister did when she was getting v ill with it. Fortunately, my sister was able to seek help and is doing a lot better now, although things have become pretty shaky at times during this pandemic.)... It does make me wonder, not in a horrible way or anything I know her mum is very into nutrition etc but if they're both very thin has that perhaps hindered some help she may have had before? Like I say I don't want to say much it's a very delicate subject. I might be wrong- I've read quite a lot over the past hour, I'm not sure how much has gone in. but her not following Chris anymore, I've had a look on Instagram and she appears to be following him again. With regards her deleting photos, I get the impression that for whatever reason she doesn't like having them on there for long, or she doesn't like having many on her feed. I think she much prefers the stories when she does post things, only 'significant' things such as Ennio Morricone and Dame Vera Lynn recently. That she posted the photos of her in New Zealand on her feed does kind of suggest to me that she is probably intending on staying there for a while now. I have to say I have found myself wishing she would put out some sort of statement about what she is doing, even to say she isn't sure what she is doing at the moment. An author I really like was writing a series of books but then suddenly stopped. There were a few months of nothing but then she did post saying she is sorry for the delay and to tell us she was still working on the book etc. I know it has been years now since Hayley released an album and I know she doesn't owe us anything in that way but she must know a lot of us are there for her and wish her the best. She doesn't have to tell us anything about her private life, just something related to the album etc. With social media, videos and photos etc being so easy to share now it wouldn't be difficult to say she is taking an extended break, or she is taking time to decide what she is doing. Or that her plans have been somewhat forced to change due to the pandemic. She wouldn't have to be very vocal, just a small statement. I know we can guess as much but it would be nice to have something directly to us, some reassurance or just some way of knowing where things stand. There are many 'celebrities' who really like to keep a private life and don't share everything but have been quite active about the pandemic. I would imagine this is affecting her, whether she has a job outside music now or not, I think it's hard to find an industry that hasn't been affected by this. Of course, that doesn't mean she has to say anything about it. I think in some ways if she did it would get lost in the depths of social media as almost everything is about the pandemic at the moment, and a lot are trying to find ways of escaping reading or hearing any more about it. I think until we get something like that though, that lets us know a little bit more where things stand we won't be able to help trying to piece together clues and keep being concerned/ worried about her. I have to say it is hard to keep hoping there will be some new music soon but I still do hold on to that hope. I'm expecting it to be very different from her older songs but I just really hope she does release more music someday soon. I know things were thrown at her when she was very young and she has had by the looks of it a lot of challenges over the years, but she is so talented and I really think music could be the thing that really helps her get through the challenges she has had. It would be lovely to see more of Hayley's adventures in New Zealand, it is such a beautiful country, one I would love to visit. The story she posted the other day of the mountains looked so beautiful...

I think you must be right. I can't think of anything offensive I would have done... I think the "worst" I did was request to follow her. That may have been it. LOL And yes, I agree, it doesn't matter. It would be nice to see potential pics of Hayley, but I guess we'll survive without them. LOL I have recently made my account private myself, but only to stop gaining random followers. I still get numerous follow requests from these randos... mostly oldish men. Blech. LOL I saw that her following list went up one, yet two "new" people were there that weren't the other day. So she followed two, and unfollowed another. You'll never guess who she re-followed... Maybe they made up?

The story she posted the other day of the mountains looked so beautiful... Nice to see you on here again, although of course we see each other on instagram, etc. all the time. I'm guessing you had some entertainment during your reading, as things got a bit strange for a bit with the whole "pregnant/not pregnant" debate. However, I'm not especially pleased that the way my argument was "won" was due to very concerning thinness. I do believe that her mum has always been an influence for Hayley in matters of health... even when she was doing poorly 10+ years ago, what little she was eating was very healthy, taking vitamins, and such. However, you may be right. Her mum has always appeared quite slim, so it could also be that she strived to achieve this slenderness, as well. I just think her mum eats very healthily, and as I brought up back when I re-visited the old article and found those "red flags", I wonder that no outside help was brought in. I happen to believe her mum, being into health as she is, and of course being her mum, thought she could get her back to health. I think she did... to some degree, and also as mentioned, her new bf at the time seemed to help her regain herself. However, as noted at the end of that article, it didn't seem as though her issues with food ever really went away. So yes, I believe they may have mistakenly thought they didn't need outside help. Which then raises questions of expertise on nutrition if eating disorders seem to be out of the line of knowledge. If even I know what should have happened, and I'm not an expert, simply a student who remembered what she learned.

Thanks for posting the pictures from Sumner Beach, by the time I went to save them they were gone. I am really pleased that Hayley is with her family in what appears to be one of the safest countries in the world at the moment.

I'm not sure we really know what's going on anymore. Sumner... at first I had thought it said Summer, and I was like, I thought it was winter down there. LOL There's a Sumner not too far from where I live. There's a nice lake there called Lake Tapps with excellent views of Mt. Rainier.

Story on Chris' Insatgram. Maybe him, maybe not, playing a keyboard. Showing 17 hours old just before I posted this.
Also something similar as a video clip in the photo section.
