Northern Ireland AssemblyMLAs will shortly file into the chamber and there's a lot on the agenda today - as you can see from the timetable below, the assembly is due to sit until about 19:40.
So, what's coming up?
There's expected to be new guidelines from the Speaker Alex Maskey about how private members' bills system will operate - that's first up.
Sinn Féin's John O'Dowd has managed to get in a matter of the day about Brexit - that's just been added in the past few minutes.

Then matters move to a DUP motion calling for the introduction of mandatory autism training in schools.
Four executive ministers will then face questions from MLAs, including First Minister Arlene Foster who will be first up.
And to wrap things up there'll be debate about a Sinn Féin motion on climate change.
