The Good
Mrs Dogwood has been shopping this afternoon and has returned with a bottle of Meantime Coffee Beer. You may remember me enthusing about their Chocolate beer a little while ago, and I have to tell you that this surpasses it. It is brewed from a dark malt combined with roasted coffee and, by golly, it does what is says on the tin. Rich, complex and not overly bitter but with the most astonishing coffee aftertaste, this is a beer to truely savour. Buy now, but leave some for me.
The Bad
Trapped.
A large chamber, curved by the shape of the structure to form an arc. The infection known as the flood had reached this place, and the abominations that were its victims were at my heels as I ran to find an exit.
A dead end.
I turned and looked at the weapons I had. A human sub machine gun - empty - and a sentinel beam with barely enough energy for one shot. I ran blindly through the attacking horde, leaping to a ledge and striking down one of the abominations. I grabbed its weapon - a shot gun - and cut a swath through three more as I leapt for a higher ledge. I watched as a sentinel appeared from the opening in the wall on the far side of the chamber. Could this be an answer? I took aim, and destroyed the ports one at a time, until the last one released the control mechanism for a door at the far end to a shaft containing one of the gargantuan pistons that formed the mechanism for the shield that it was my task to destroy.
Escape.
The Ugly
A phone call from the ex - abusive and threatening. Not good, not bad, just ugly.

I was looking at thosae yesterday myself but passed on them fearing they'd not be all they were cracked up to be. But I might give it a shot if you're thumbs up about them.
