Sorry - forgot to hide that one. I'm guessing that the previous two are BONE-IDLE and NUDE. Just to keep things going - one I haven't got from today's Times. Daisy pursues man about town (9) D _ _ _ A _ T _ _
[Wol] I was going to say "Think Cupid" for KCABWARD - I also agree with your other two. D***A*T** is Doncaster - being "aster" for daisy after Don and c (circa = about).
As for It can make notes to change your beginning as a afterthought (8) ... here are some letters _ S _ L _ E _ _
Sorry - forgot to say Yes to my clue ages ago. As for yours, the letters have certainly helped. Now I know it's PSALTERY - a medieval stringed instrument. PS (the 'afterthought') ALTER (to change) Y (first letter of 'your'). Does the word 'beginning' indicate that the PS should be at the beginning of the word or is it pointing to the letter 'y'?
[Chalky] You are of course correct - and <hidden> The "beginning" was signifying the first letter of "your" i.e. the Y - The order of the parts was I hope implicit in the way the clue was phrased - once you get that "an afterthought" was PS then that would normally precede whatever the text of the PS was, if you see what I mean. <\hidden>
How about another (easy I think) .... a bit nudge, nudge this one ! Secreted when you hear loose woman is satisfied ? (7)
