You may be ending this week a bleary-eyed, jet-lagged wreck from early starts and late nights for World Cup matches. Or you may be totally indifferent to sport, and simply looking forward to a weekend and a trip to the book fair.
Either way, it's going to be cold. Temperatures will drop below minus 4 degrees on Friday with a top of 13 degrees. They'll go down to minus 5 degrees, and will get no higher than 12 degrees, on Saturday. It won't be a surprise that there's going to be some morning frost too.
Here's today's headlines.
New inquiry to probe former LDA's rural land purchases
The former Land Development Agency's purchases of nine farms across Canberra's western fringe will come under scrutiny again. An ACT Legislative Assembly committee will hold an inquiry into an audit of the deals, with hearings starting next week.
Following revelations of poor documentation of the now-defunct LDA's land deals and lack of probity in its dealings, the Assembly's Public Accounts Committee has this week decided to hold the inquiry into the lengthy audit report.
The committee now has three inquiries underway into the controversial dealings of the former agency, covering the series of rural land purchases; the Dickson land swap with the Tradies Club; and the deals at Glebe Park and on the shores of Lake Burley-Griffin.
Daniel Burdon explains the latest inquiry.
Consumer competition watchdog says ACT should dump solar scheme
Feed-in tariff schemes for solar energy are a target of Australian Competition and Consumer Commission findings, but it's not clear if this could lead to changes in the ACT.
The competition watchdog has found vulnerable ACT customers should no longer foot the bill for "inequitable" solar power schemes that are overly generous towards better-off households.
But Sustainability Minister Shane Rattenbury has not said whether he will investigate changing the ACT's feed-in scheme for solar power, lauded as one of the most generous in the country when introduced in 2009.
Steven Trask reports on the watchdog's recommendations.
'Healing power of sport': countdown to the Invictus Games
When the Invictus Games come to Sydney, veteran Benjamin Farinazzo will be there.
The former infantry parachuter has hit rock bottom before. His bout with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety came after he returned from East Timor in the late 90s.
Now, Mr Farinazzo is set to represent Australia at the upcoming games, an international sporting event for veterans and active defence personnel.
The former UNSW Canberra alumni will represent Australia in indoor rowing and powerlifting.

Otago schoolboys sold toilet paper to make Kanga Cup debut
They sold toilet paper to realise their Kanga Cup dream. And they're the only Kiwi team playing in Canberra this week after they spent the past year fundraising for their trip across the ditch.
Otago Boys' High School raised $20,000 dollars by toilet paper and cheese rolls, determined to play at the biggest soccer tournament in the southern hemisphere.
Former New Zealand international Michael McGarry coaches the under-15 team and said all fundraising initiatives were driven by his players.

Toomua is homeward bound but not back to the Brumbies
Change is afoot for Test playmaker Matt Toomua. He'll return to Australia ahead of next year's World Cup for the Wallabies.
And in a shock move for the 88-match former Brumby, Toomua is poised to leave English club Leicester for Melbourne on a two-and-a-half-season deal with the Rebels.
Fairfax Media understands the ACT Brumbies would have welcomed him back with open arms but a chance to establish a more settled home base with cricketer wife Ellyse Perry looks to have swayed Toomua's decision.
