Nearly destroyed my keyboard spluttering with laughter--don't DO that to a swallowing old person in tennis shoes! Seriously, what you read about Sundays off had to do with "servile labor"--i.e., work for someone else--and, as Ish has indicated, even today, living in an agrarian world meant and means that one "makes hay while the sun shines" regardless of what the day of the week may be. People attended fairs to get a moment's break and to sell their wares. For only a very few were they a "day off," unfortunately. After all, think of the "Angelus" as providing a time of prayer in the middle of a day of intense physical labor. It was yet another burden.
