The Idler’s Diary 2009
This a diary like no other. With appointment pages interspersed with things to do, recipes, drawings, arcana, poems and other pearls of wisdom – the “Idler Diary” will help you gently float down river in 2009. Illustrated in glorious technicolour by the Idler’s crack team of artists and cartoonists and with contributions for a nationwide team of well known slackers. Illuminating, irreverent and intriguing, this is the perfect gift for daydreamers everywhere. It includes a full list of all medieval feast days.
This is a first for us: it’s an elegant appointments diary with illustrations by Idler favourites Pete Loveday and Alice Smith. Throughout, we remind you not only of Bank Holidays, but also all the forgotten saints’ days from the fun-filled medieval calendar. There are also history, science and cooking lessons from Alex James, Louis Theroux, Bill Drummond and Gavin Pretor-Pinney, as well as medieval art, romantic poetry and Gwyn cartoons to help you enjoy yourself all year round.

"An idle mind is a questioning, sceptical mind. Hence it is a mind not too bound up with ephemeral things, as the minds of workers are. The idler, then, is somebody who separates himself from his occupation: there are many people scarcely conscious of living except in the exercise of some conventional occupation."
