Yesterday turned out quite nice in the end weather wise so we headed out to the canal boat cavalcade in little Venice. It was a good day out with lots of narrow boats covered in bunting and lots of stalls selling food and other bits. There was even punch and judy followed by a teddy bear picnic on the grass at Rembrants Garden. After a good potter about we decided to walk a little further into town, eventually reaching Hyde Park. We made full use of the sunshine and had a wander around the park, stopping for a drink by the Sepentine at the Lido Cafe. We ended up finishing the day out at Cafe Rouge by Victoria station before heading back home.

In the evening, I made a couple of small changes to the website to make it a little more user friendly, updating the gallery page to now load all photo albums with links to collections on the right. I also added a few lines of code to speed up loading of images by adding cache headers. It took no time at all to add and significantly speeds up page loads when returning to a page already viewed. For those interested all I added was:

header('Pragma: public');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=86400');
header('Expires: '. gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s \G\M\T', time() + 86400));
header('Content-Type: image/png');

Simples! Now time to get back on with the marking . .
