One vintage in the Wairau Valley, Marlborough: late February to the end of April.

• Terminal illness, end-of-life planning, assisted dying discussed and legally constrained
• Sensory disability (parosmia and anosmia) rendered accurately, not metaphorically
• Financial precarity, a bank covenant, the real possibility of losing land
• Desire between adults; sex cuts away at the door
• Alcohol in a trade that runs on it; one bad night
• Grief and anticipatory grief; a difficult decision about a body
• No slurs written out
