77 Satellites

Round 26: Autumn 2024
Narrated by Nick Moretti

The dorm was getting too crowded and Maia and I didn't want to move to yet another dorm, so instead, we thought we'd give private housing a shot. The house is tiny but it's big enough for us.

Everything hits at once

Round 26: Summer 2024
Last update: Gordon/Lia (+ wedding mini-update)

Gordon Nott is 28 and Lia is 27.
(Jace is 67, Magdalena is 60, Steve is 29 and Olivia and Ione are both 28)

Narrated by Lia Nott

I was absolutely desperate to get married but I have to confess that I didn't have much of an idea what to expect after the wedding. I mean, I spoke to Ione and to Mum about what it was like for them but that didn't give me much of a clue. Gordon and I didn't live together before marriage, so we sort of went into this blind!

Narrated by Joanna Draper

When we came back after our honeymoon, we found Rose's garden was completely destroyed. My first thought was that it was Abel but Rose refused to blame the dog.

Timorous me

Round 26: Spring 2023
last update/next update

Betsy and Kimberly Carmody are both 52 and Susannah is 13.
(Sarah is 18 and Malcolm is 13)

Narrated by Susannah Carmody

Note: for clarity's sake, Susannah calls Kimberly "Mama" and Betsy "Mum".

My parents want to take a family holiday sometime, which I really don't want to do. Who am I supposed to hang out with? There's no way Sarah will want to go and they're not going to let me stay home either.
