Ok.. Just came in from outside. The star appears to be going down in the sky.. I can tell because I can no longer see it clearly above the sunshade by the pool without having to stand on my tip toes.

I cannot see the all of the sky to spot venus cause my bro-in-laws house is on a cliff face and trees over hang then back of it with another house above that, so when I went out the back to see (this star is almost directly onto the front of this house), i was unable to see anything because of the trees and the neighbours security lights :( I am really disappointed about that.

I will have to wait until I return home next week to check the sky out clearly. I will go out to the beach where there are no house lights to obscure the view.
