a surprising decision

Yesterday I came up with an incredible decision - "incredible" for my standard of approach to life. I decided I will take two weeks off. This week and the next are the "settimane di ferragosto", that is the feriae Augusti , in latin, still referring to a public holiday originated from the festival of Emperor Augustus who made 1 August (the month with his name!) a day of rest after weeks of hard work on the agricultural sector [Wikipedia].
