*edit: I didn't add all the wins!*

For a few years I've had a very basic skincare routine due to increased sensitivity/possible allergies. Everything seemed to be causing a breakout, eczema or making my eyes stream. I'm now feeling the need to change things as some products I've relied on aren't really cutting it any more. I'd really appreciate some recommendations or tips on what to add to my routine.

Skin type: Mostly normal

Skin concerns: My forehead is my problem area. I have the orange peel skin, it gets oily AND dry and there are blemishes, not really spots but they could be hormonal. It also feels rough/bumpy whereas the rest of my face is smooth.

Goals: Smooth and clear skin, preventing signs of ageing as much as possible.

Current routine

Cleanser: Cerave Hydrating Cleanser + hot cloth

This has been fine as it doesn't cause any reaction but it does dry my skin out sometimes. I don't wear a lot of make-up so it does the job but it would be nice to have something that also feels good.

Serum: I've just started using The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% emulsion and it's too soon to say if it's doing anything. I use it twice a week and nothing on the other days.

Moisturiser: Q+A Vitamin C Face cream

Sunscreen: Cerave Invisible Hydrating Suncream SPF50 I recently switched from LRP to this and it's the one product I'm really happy about. It's totally matte, non greasy, caused no reaction, nice texture.

I previously used LRP Effaclar Duo as a spot treatment/exfoliant for my forehead and it worked well but now does nothing. Before starting the retinal I used glycolic acid 7% nearly every day and it didn't seem to do much either.

Any tips would be great especially for serum, moisturiser and cleanser.

Anyone know what's being filmed in August and September? I noticed there are road closures scheduled for Bothwell Street, Broomielaw and around that area. Could it be the next Avengers film?

I am obsessed with them honestly, dream team. I've seen lots of clips from this q&a, does anyone know if there's going to be a full video?

I'm doing some family history research and I'm wondering if someone can point me in the direction of what I'm looking for.

I'm curious about British/Allied POW who escaped and were not recaptured, what happened and where they went after escaping. I'd particularly be interested in stories from 1941-43 but open to any info.

I'm getting back into photography after a break of several years and I made the mistake of buying a secondhand lens that doesn't fit my camera. I've read you can get an adaptor for the Four Thirds lenses so THEY can be used on a MFT camera. The lens is the 40-150mm f.4-5.6 and I've got an OM-D E-M10 MkIV. Can anyone point me in the right direction for which adaptor to get?

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how Ilya’s relationship with both of his parents is portrayed in the show and in the books, particularly after reading The Long Game. The show and books have been fun and joyful but obviously they deal with serious issues too. Part of the joy is that they’re cathartic, we get through that turmoil to happier times.

One thing I’ve appreciated in the show is Jacob’s portrayal of Ilya’s family life and how he expanded what we read in the book. I found the scenes with Grigori really moving, and I think we’ve all cried during the Russian monologue. I feel grateful to have this show because I’ve found it quite rare to have depictions of these parent child dynamics. It makes me feel less alone, less weird, less doomed.

In Heated Rivalry we see things from Ilya’s perspective as a grown-up child and there are depictions of:

• The impact of having a parent with a mental illness.
• Traumatic bereavement
• Having a parent that you have a difficult, unhappy relationship with and then caring for that parent when they have an illness that affects them mentally and alters their personality.
• Grieving for a parent who you had a difficult, complicated relationship with.

I can only think of a few tv shows, films or books that show the impact of this on an adult while they’re going through it and from that adult’s perspective. It’s more common to see either the parents POV or the child before they’re old enough to presumably leave forever. Not that these aren’t valid stories as well, but we know that’s not always how things go. Even people who are estranged for many years grieve for their parents when they die. In film The Outrun is one that felt very true to me, The Glass Castle too, these are both based on autobiographies. Jacqueline Wilson wrote a follow up to The Illustrated Mum revisiting those characters as adults.

So, TLDR, what did you think about the portrayal of these issues in the show and/or books? Are there any other works of fiction you’ve found that cover similar topics? Any that made you feel better rather than worse?

Bonus question: why do you think Ilya doesn't walk away from his father or argue with him or hang up when he tells him to be quiet or shames him for losing? I have my own theories but would really like to hear what other people think.
