    Last clear evening before a bank of rain moves in tomorrow.  Some patchy
    cloud around but cool, 10.4 deg C, 795mm Hg (for some reason my weather
    station has stopped reading in millibars).
    
    First NOSS obs for some time, followed by a few from USA 129.

    I had a higher pass of USA 129 than Jean-Paul in Lannion.  All of the USA
    129 points are consistently early by ~4.3 seconds; but I was using 5 day-old
    elsets (Mike's 05265.83010893) as the wife was using the computer before I
    went out. So I *guess* that it has manoeuvred in the last 24 h (even though
    Pierre's last report stated it was on time).  Another go with Mike's latest
    elset (05269.83359104 ) gives me a time error of -0.018 s, which confirms to
    me that a manoeuvre has taken place and our group has been onto it.
    
    Best wishes
