I thought the second one might be CHILI, but I can't see a homophone indicator.

Hi Brendan. Yes, CHILI has been nagging at me, but the 'not cold' also troubles me.

Glad to help!
I was pondering "agGRo" for the first one but can't see the parse!

mattrom: I had been pretty confident about the 'H', but now I'll think again: yes, I'm convinced.

rusty: AGGRO had occurred to me, but, as you say, I can't get 'diamonds' to lead me to AGO.

Thanks to both of you for your help.
