Uh-oh…
Our benches are vibrating and there’s a loud drilling sound. Feels like someone might be attempting to tow entire court away #OscarPistorius — Aislinn Laing (@Simmoa) July 2, 2014
I’m no expert in the forced removal of judicial buildings, but I think that this is somewhat unlikely. And with the court still firmly in place, there’s even time during a murder trial for a whimsical reference to that cookbook:
Ah. Next witness is in fact Sports Medicine Professor Wayne Derman. Maybe Nel can ask him what he thinks of the Noakes diet? — Rebecca Davis (@becsplanb) July 2, 2014
But there’s good news from Andrew Harding:
Tea break.

Meanwhile, Wayne Derman says you need a dollop of butter in that. Probably.
It’s a bit late now! #Pistorius — lucy thornton (@lucethornton) July 2, 2014
So many meanings we could read into this. But I think it’s just that Lucy wants to get home before 3Talk with Noeleen begins.
Of course she does, because we should never – NEVER – underestimate the travails of the courtroom journalist:
Covering Pistorius is a bit like being in prison. You have to take it day by day, you can’t look forward to when it will all finally be over

Also there are communal showers. And each evening you have to sleep with 65 TB-riddled criminals. Or something…
Its all a bit confusing. @JGFWriteDance @NastasyaTay

The prison reference? Yes, it is.
First tea break delayed, now Nel wants lunch break put back by 5 minutes. #OscarPistorius

I HOPE YOU SURVIVE. But then…
So – Friday off. Court adjourned until Monday… #OscarPistorius
