Hello! A week later than planned, I'm here to tell you about the news on Nonô's agenda that inspired my writing, and which took place during the month of March 2024.

Fortunately, it was also a very intense month, with trips to the Sintra and Galveias libraries, events such as a visit to the Biester Palace, celebrating Women's Day, World Poetry Day at the CCB, the Poetas de Abril event, voting and counting foreign votes, volunteering at the Sintra Biological Atlas, the Mussel Festival in Maçãs beach, Easter, physical exercise, etc. Below I'll go into a little more detail about some of these events and illustrate them with photos:
