After a long weekend as First Minister, it is about time Rhodri Morgan unveiled a new cabinet.
The Welsh Labour leader has never been one to shuffle and reshuffle on a whim.
But he already has TWO vacancies after former finance and public services minister Sue Essex retired at the election, and culture, Welsh language and sport minister Alun Pugh was sacked as AM by the voters of Clwyd West.
Will Mr Morgan replace Mr Pugh with another North Wales AM in the new line-up - albeit on a temporary basis until the Rainbow rises over Cardiff Bay?
Mr Morgan is likely to stand by those ministers he has left but he may shift a few around.
Will he promote one or more of the deputy minsters?
Huw Lewis is tipped by some as a potential leader of the future and has created a niche in tackling child poverty, a flagship Labour policy.
Who are the up-and-coming candidates? Leighton Andrews, Rhondda, is knocking on the door having demonstrated a tenacious streak in the high profile campaign over the Burberry factory closure.
Sandy Mewies, Delyn, could provide the North Wales link, having ably chaired the European and External Affairs Committee, if Mr Morgan aims to strengthen ties with the region.
