Went to the Legoland again today - spot the Lego flags in this picture

I’ve been to #Spain for the first time in a long time, and I can report that it’s still very nice 🇪🇸

The United States and the freely associated states 🇺🇸🇲🇭🇫🇲🇵🇼

My final #CommonwealthGames session was swimming, with #Barbados, #Guernsey and #Tanzania among the many teams represented in the morning heats. Thank you, #Glasgow2026! 🇧🇧🇬🇬🇹🇿

Next, at the #Glasgow2026 netball, I saw #CommonwealthGames teams including #SouthAfrica, #TrinidadandTobago and #Wales 🇿🇦🇹🇹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Today’s #Glasgow2026 action started at the #CommonwealthGames bowls and para bowls: three sets of medal matches in which the big winners were #England (🥇🥇🥈), #Malaysia (🥈🥈) and #Scotland (🥇) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇲🇾🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My only #Glasgow2026 session today was the morning athletics, which featured almost every #CommonwealthGames team. That gives me a wide choice of flags to showcase, and I’ve gone for #Anguilla, the #Seychelles and #Vanuatu 🇦🇮🇸🇨🇻🇺

#Glasgow2026 Then it was over to the gymnastics for the women’s #CommonwealthGames individual all-around final. Gold 🥇 went to Ellie Black of #Canada, silver 🥈 to Breanna Scott of #Australia and bronze 🥉 to Lia-Monica Fontaine, also of #Canada 🇨🇦🇦🇺

My first #CommonwealthGames event at #Glasgow2026 today was 3x3 basketball and wheelchair 3x3, with the competing teams including the #CaymanIslands, #Guyana and #Kenya 🇰🇾🇬🇾🇰🇪

Aye, I’ve arrived at #Glasgow2026 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Enjoying the #CommonwealthGames opening ceremony, especially the discovery that #Nauru has become #Naoero. I’ll be there in a couple of days! (The Commonwealth Games, not Naoero) 🇳🇷

Right then, the 103rd game of the tournament is #SPAARG in the #LegoFlagsWorldCup final. #Spain is the champion on the strength of its colour combination (it’s the two different yellows that does it for me), but it might have been a different story if the sun on #Argentina had its smiley face 🇪🇸🇦🇷

As it happens, I went to two football matches today - both much more significant than anything that may or may not be happening in Miami #notpointless #notfarce #notpointlessfarce

There won’t be any #LegoFlagsWorldCup today because there isn’t any football #pointless #farce #pointlessfarce

The second #LegoFlagsWorldCup semi-final is #ENGARG. They’ve both lost games in getting to this stage, but the sun with a smiley face (not visible in Lego form) of #Argentina clearly beats #England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇦🇷

I feel like I’ve said something along these lines before, but there’s plenty of red on display in the #FRASPA clash at the #LegoFlagsWorldCup and it’s #Spain with the win over #France, which frankly was fortunate to get this far 🇫🇷🇪🇸

Yet more sad news: after careful consideration, the palaeontologist has decided NOT to endorse our park 😢🇳🇿

In further sad news, forever’s gonna start tonight 😢🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Plucky #Switzerland continues its run and beats #Argentina fair and square for a place in the #LegoFlagsWorldCup last four #ARGSUI 🇦🇷🇨🇭

It’s Europe v Europe again with #NORENG at the #LegoFlagsWorldCup, and I’m feeling cross - but Nordic cross or symmetrical cross? For once I’m giving the victory (in a low-quality contest) to #England, such is the eyesore quality of misproportioned #Norway 🇳🇴🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Sporting predictions for today: #England to beat #India in the rugby, #Norway in the cricket and #Fiji in the football. Have I got that right? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇳🇳🇴🇫🇯

There’s plenty of red and yellow on display in the #SPABEL clash at the #LegoFlagsWorldCup and it’s #Spain with the win over #Belgium, which frankly was fortunate to get this far 🇪🇸🇧🇪

The #LegoFlagsWorldCup is getting serious now, but to be honest I’m not massively impressed with the selection of flags that have made it this far. #FRAMAR is the first quarter-final and sees #Morocco beat #France by virtue of featuring something other than stripes 🇫🇷🇲🇦

In further sad news, forever’s gonna start tonight 😢🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I have some personal news: my TV has died. It was bought for South Africa 2010 (I remember tuning it during Brazil v North Korea), so this was its fifth World Cup. After that Paraguay display the other night, I think it decided we’d seen enough. Sleep well, old friend 😢📺

There’s one more #LegoFlagsWorldCup quarter-final place up for grabs, and the victor in #SWICOL is #Switzerland. #Colombia has nice colours but, what can I say, it’s hip to be square 🇨🇭🇨🇴

It’s a tight one, but the smiley-faced sun of #Argentina secures victory in #ARGEGY and eliminates #Egypt from the #LegoFlagsWorldCup 🇦🇷🇪🇬

#LegoFlagsWorldCup GREAT news! I was going to award #USABEL to #Belgium on account of the #USA lacking 88% of its stars and 54% of its stripes, but then a DEAR FRIEND called and convinced me to reverse this DEEP INJUSTICE by CHEATING, and I did because I can 🇺🇸🇧🇪

It’s an Iberian derby at the #LegoFlagsWorldCup with #PORSPA, and not an easy one to call. I suppose I’ll just about give it to #Portugal, because they sure as heck won’t beat #Spain in the football 🇵🇹🇪🇸

#MEXENG The boring, boring flag of #England has already been eliminated from the #LegoFlagsWorldCup twice, and now it’s time for the backwards-looking duck of #Mexico to do the honours again 🇲🇽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

#BRANOR It’s the end of the line for misproportioned #Norway, dumped out of the #LegoFlagsWorldCup by brilliant #Brazil 🇧🇷🇳🇴
