MonoMonday: 400th

There have been 400 MonoMondays and I don't think I have missed one. I certainly can't say that for any other challenge but I feel I'm locked in now.
I love mono for portraits especially, and also find it often rescues a dud photo.

We have come to Sydney for the first time in 3 months for a couple of medical appointments. 
We took the opportunity of the slight easing of restrictions to meet the twins at the beach today for an afternoon tea picnic.
Not having seen them since they were 7 months old I feared they wouldn't want anything to do with us but, although a bit cautious at first, they soon warmed to us.
