I'm still distracted by the boots and spurs
The moon is actually more useful than the sun since the moon gives us light at night when it's dark. The sun only gives us light during the day when it's already bright out.

My head hurts - wasted time and energy trying to fit R or K for "king" is + t(o) + h(is) + m(ajesty) + Ian -> isthmian That was evil
To waste one second of one's life is a betrayal of one's self. I wonder what's on television...?

Well navigated, although I think the beginning is ist = first. You mus' now take the Belt, so here it isth: ===[**CDM**]=== It took us a while to work it out in a FT puzzle (our regular lunchtime brain-training): I did not even know there was an adjective for isthmus! The plural of isthmus could also offer interesting crossword possibilities (isthmuses or isthmi), as well as probably being quite a challenge for anyone suffering from a lisp...

Thanks, Lex! Interesting - "ian" was a gift, then I was stuck until your hint which meant the first letter must be "a" or "i". I then reckoned that "is first to" meant "is" plus the first letter of "to". It then had to be something to do with "isthmus" since from my practice making up the word chains I knew that this was the only common word beginning "ist" Burn gourmand's last vegetable (5)

OK - hint time:
Direct on the right Wordplay 4+1, one indicator ccvcc
... and one (not for the belt) from today's paper just to check that you were paying attention:
Continental like a Scot (5)

Chard = vegetable - char (burn) + d (gourmand's last) and Asian = continental - as (like) + Ian, as no one else is biting

Thank you for those additions to my wardrobe. You end up including everything pure (9) - only one of the letters is repeated
