It is hardly news to those who read uk.sci.astronomy, but this morning the sky is unusually clear and blue, so I went out just before sunrise and marked a position where Venus was lined up with a chimney, then looked again 40 minutes later. Venus is easy to see in a clear blue sky as long as you know approximately where to look. Clearly visible and bright, at 0740, well after sunrise this morning 5 October. Just looked again at 0750, still there despite having the Sun shining directly on me.
Earlier, I went out and saw an impressive line-up of planets and waning crescent Moon, with bright and very orange Mars high up near Castor and Pollux, brilliant Venus, and fainter Saturn. Predictions suggest we are in for a few clear days and nights, so grab 'em.
