Good morning! I’ve come back from holidays, freshly primed to fossick through the Guardian’s many stories – below are some of my favourites from the week. And what a week. The Women’s World Cup has begun. You’ll be getting some important pamphlets in the post. Barbenheimer is here (general consensus? Barbie: great but not groundbreaking, Oppenheimer: “flawed but extraordinary”). Jane Birkin is gone. And King Charles is, er, getting a pay rise.
To add to all that, Venus goes retrograde in Leo today (“I know!” you cry.) For those who set store by the stars, what this means is big questions for your relationships until September, and a perfectly fine excuse to moon over your first love or maybe these photos of lovers, or just settle in and read about good sex.
