Happy Ferragosto to everyone.

But not for me as I will be staying at home by myself. After refusing NY, I have declined Sperlonga with Anneka and Umbria with Romano. I will be staying in Rome, which is sunny and hot. I think I will get myself a few bottles of wine and enjoy them and celebrate my fucked up life! I spoke to Flavio and thanked him for everything. He was very understanding. It’s a pity he is a man; he would have been a great partner :). I spoke to Mario, too. He will also stay in Rome this weekend but didn’t invite me anywhere. He might do so, but I am not sure I fancy seeing him. I do fancy some hot sex, but not with him; a nice Oriental giro or a blonde will do…

I am unsure I will write this weekend as nothing should happen. Big kiss

By the way, for those who don’t know:

Ferragosto is an Italian holiday celebrated on August 15. Originally, it was related to celebrating the middle of summer and the end of hard labour in the fields. In time, Roman Catholicism adopted this date as a Holy Day of Obligation to commemorate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary—the real physical elevation of her sinless soul and incorrupt body into Heaven.

However, before the Roman Catholic Church came into existence, this holiday was celebrated in the Roman Empire to honour the gods—particularly Diana—and the cycle of fertility and ripening. The present Italian name of the holiday derives from its original Latin name, Feriae Augusti (“Festivals [Holidays] of the Emperor Augustus”) [1].

In Italy, almost August was taken as a holiday and leisure time in honour of this feast day.

Nowadays, Ferragosto is mainly a short holiday when Italians take brief vacations. Noting that Italy’s shift from a rural to urban-dominant population is recent and that about one-third of Italians live in rural areas, many families with rural origins within the last one or two generations return to their village during Ferragosto.
