Zombie Aocalypse Day 11: Mind-blowing stupidity

Vox are the Spanish far right party. The We’re-not fascists-honest-we’re-not party.

It’s getting a bit repetitive around here. I found my bubble wand and went just outside my front door for 5 minutes fun. Apart from that, today has been very much like yesterday.
