Hi friends,


Thanks for all your baby gear tips in response to my last newsletter. We're ordering a pram tomorrow. Boy, it's getting real.

In werk news, I wrote some stuff for Contact and reMarkable that's now out in the wild. 

What's exciting in your world? Are you pumped for autumn? I can't wait to start working the layers.

Your friend,
Luke

P.S. If you're spooked about all the UK energy providers going bust, feel free to use my referral link to get £50 when you switch to Octopus Energy. Sadly, I can't help with petrol.
