Default Mosaic Virus ???

Some of the leaves on my courgette plants look like below.

Is it Mosaic virus ? My book say that it is transmitted by aphids but my plants are still on the window sill ????

I could be COMPLETELY wrong but, I think it's the wrong colour for mosaic virus. Also, I have a feeling that the leaves of marrows/courgettes have mottling on them. I shall sit ready to be shot down in flames by someone who knows more than me (which won't be difficult)
