Yes - engine failure in circuit. Aviate navigate communicate. The mayday call isn't going to save you, your skill may. Only call once you've got the landing planned and and done an attempt at restart if there's time (and don't try that unless you really have got time). Mary - you're a glider pilot so of course your first thought is "where am I going to land?" which is as it should be.
