Where have all the vegetables gone?

My middle school had long assembly three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I quite enjoyed assembly, which wasn't that long even in its long format, and one got to sing. I did not, however, like all the hymns. Top of my "most hated" list was Where Have All the Flowers Gone. To this day I get irritated when hearing pre-pubescent female humans blamed for the first World War.

Nonetheless, when I opened the fridge tonight and discovered that the only green veg I possessed was a couple of leeks, I had to accept that the answer was that I had eaten them. I'm not sure how this happened, as there was a fair amount there on Saturday and I am not the sort of person who considers raw broccoli a delicious snack. But apparently it has. I don't mind leeks. Leeks are OK, particularly baked, but even raw. But I was looking for the courgette that was supposed to be in there.

It is a lifestyle to which I aspire. I quite fancied Sissinghurst where Vita Sackville-West had everyone living in separate barns or turrets. But we're doing pretty well to wangle separate bedrooms in a 3-bed house really, and with him going to bed when I get up, we are practically in parallel universes as it is. It would just be nice not to come down to a table covered in dirty mugs when I cleared it before I went to bed.
