Had a day trip on the train to Lisbon in search of fibreglass repair
materials and some rigging wire and returned empty-handed. Walked for miles
and visited five chandleries. Two were closed, contrary to advertised hours,
and the others had nothing in. Except one near the Cais do Sodre station
which had a good selection of wire and a swaging machine but the owner and
his assistant thought they might only be able to find time to sell it to me
the next day as even though the shop had no other customers, one was way too
busy winding up a ball of string and the other was supervising.
