Today’s #FlagTypes category is stars (or in many cases star, and in Lego usually circle/circles) and stripes, where the victors are #Cuba, #Liberia, #Togo and the #UnitedStates 🇨🇺🇱🇷🇹🇬🇺🇸

Some important non-Lego, non-flag news: I’ve discovered that my phone always gives me these three suggestions for “Wacky”, and I can’t stop laughing at the unknown series of events that leads it to think I probably want to say “Wacky wizards”, “Wacky wizard” or “Wacky Friday”

It’s Independence Day in #Botswana tomorrow, and today they’re having a bonus national holiday to celebrate winning the men’s 4x400m at the World Athletics Championships last week. Sounds like a grand couple of days - enjoy! 🇧🇼

As there are few entrants in the Nordic crosses #FlagTypes category, I’ve made an exception and allowed autonomous island territories to take part. Probably in part due to this novelty value, two of them - #Åland and the #FaroeIslands - join #Iceland and #Sweden as winners 🇦🇽🇫🇴🇮🇸🇸🇪

A friend of mine who’s in #Eswatini has sent me a picture of a flag he’s acquired (left), and frankly it’s indistinguishable from my Lego version (right) 🇸🇿
