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. ?

trisher Sun 19-Apr-20 13:13:08

Ooh Chewbacca be careful, that's how you get a baby!

Doodle Sun 19-Apr-20 13:14:29

Ooh yes chewy. Let me just swap my school shoes for my plimsoles so I can run faster and catch them ?

Doodle Sun 19-Apr-20 13:15:39

Chewbacca Sun 19-Apr-20 13:21:02

No.... you don't get babies by kissing and all that rubbish about storks is just wot your mum and dad tell you when they don't want to tell you anythink proper. You get babies when you lie down on wet grass. I know cos that's what my mum told my aunty bout the girl across the street. She said she was forever doing it and it was just a matter of time..... so there!

Pantglas2 Sun 19-Apr-20 13:35:57

Yes but Chewbacca if she’d jumped up and down for two minutes after that lie down she’d have been ok wouldn’t she?

I’m still waiting for my Perfect baj Miss....for that nitiative wot I showed the class...

trisher Sun 19-Apr-20 14:36:58

You keep your nits to yourself Pantglas2. They'll shave your head you know!

Ooh bathsheba you’re even later than me. Well done for catching up quickly though.

Would you like one of my sherbet dib dabs. I’ve got one for everyone but don’t get sherbet on your clothes or your mums will be cross ?

Doodle Sun 19-Apr-20 14:48:30

pantglas where did you get your bits from. You only get them if you stick your head in an ant nest. At least I think that’s what my mum said ?

Chewbacca Sun 19-Apr-20 14:48:38

I think it was the jumping up and down wot did it Pantglas!

Bathsheba Sun 19-Apr-20 14:50:39

Ooh yes please Doodle. Ave they got a lickrish stick to dip in the sherbet? I hope so cos I reelly love lickrish.

Bathsheba Sun 19-Apr-20 14:53:54

And Doodle I had ever such a giggle about you asking pantglas about her bits, hee hee. Fancy asking her whare she got them blush

willa45 Sun 19-Apr-20 14:54:47
