London 7 years! Friday and Saturday

Lisa arrived in London on Tuesday for marketing with Yamana while Ctos arrived on Friday morning. Friday was a work day for Ctos, he presented a silver mining story to Blackrock, while Lisa spent the day on the phone and Internet putting out Yamana fires. Ctos went to his favourite shoe store and purchased a nice pair of brown casual shoes while Lisa purchased two pairs of shoes at a high end store in Mayfair. Thankfully the bull market for precious metals is back! The evening was spent wandering from pub to pub drinking Guinness! What a wonderful evening. Dinner at the hotel was in room and was excellent. The next day we had intentions to go to the Tower of London but ended spending the day shopping. It was a lovely day with a blue sky although a bit chilly. Ctos bought Lisa a cute tweed jacket for the 7th anniversary and then proceeded to visit around a dozen clothes retailers looking for tweed for himself but to no avail. While many tweed jackets were found, Ctos didn't relish any of the fits; he blamed the European cut but the problem was really his growing gut!
We are now back at the hotel resting after the day' s wanderings trying to decide on this evening's dining adventure. While ruminating we watched Doctor Who which was interesting in that the episode referenced both the Savoy (where we stayed last time) and the Tower of London! It seems Doctor Who is sending us a message! Dinner was a 9:30 sitting at the hotel restaurant "Cut" where Lisa had a wonderful Chilean wagu steak while Ctos enjoyed yummy partridge as the hunting season has just begun. It was an amazing dinner! We retired to our room some time after 11pm with plans to visit the Tower of London the next day.
