Good morning all, the sun is shining here in Lockdownsville.

Here are today's magic squares.
I have posted two: a simple one and a more difficult one, for those who like to test themselves.

Apologies in advance, it is a bit blurry, but trying to get the two puzzles into one image, was bit testing!

DISCLAIMER.
I apologise in advance for any errors I may make (highly unlikely ?) , I do not claim to be an expert, just a simple soul, trying inject a wee bit of fun into Lockdown.

Good behaviour in class today, please! Chance would be a fine thing. ?
