Went to Crawley already on Thursday cause Ingela was coming along and she wanted some extra holiday. We arrived on the evening and checked in to the Grange Hotel, same place we stayed a couple of month ago. Had a great night with Indian food and some Indian beer.

Friday was a nice day with good weather. We had the hole Friday of so we went out for some shopping and ended up in the local pubs for food and beer. Really a nice day specially when you spend it with someone you love.

Saturday it was time to play. Great breakfast, eggs, bacon, sausages, potatoes, bread and juice. Everything you need in the morning. The walk from the hotel to the venue is about 20-25 minutes but it wakes up your body and I think that's a good start in the morning.

My first match of the day was against Roland Scholten. I won the bull and started by leaving 40 after 15 and Roland was standing on 108. Just when I was to throw for the double the alarm went off and everybody had to evacuate the building. After 5-10 minutes we were allowed back in to the building. Back to the board some practice darts and then one of the officials tells me we have to start from the beginning. I said no way you must be kidding and of course he was. Second dart hit the target. Played the hole game very steady and lots of high scores and my doubles went straight in. Won 6-3.

Next game was against Wayne Jones and I played very good. My scoring is just getting better and better but lost my doubles in this game. First 6 leg I shot 2-3 dart on a double before him but when I missed he punished me at once. Lost 6-1 but it just getting better and better.

Saturday evening we went out for a couple of pints and ended up at a Chinese restaurant for a great meal.

Sunday, same start like Saturday morning. Got Stuart Dutton in first played good. Did some mistakes but overall it feels really good. Evening we went back for some pints and ended up at the local Chinese again. Monday we spend in the shopping area and pubs before we flew home in the evening.

Next stop Stockholm for the Grand Prix final. Top 16 players.
