My daughter clung to a blanket until she was 7 years old. By the time she gave it up, it appeared to be a frayed fire hazard. Blankets are normally used as insulators or decoration, much like mulch is used in the landscape. It’s no coincidence both are called beds.

In the closing stages of Scotland’s shambolic drubbing at the hands of Ireland, a galloping victory that won the visitors the Six Nations, a man left his seat in Murrayfield’s West Stand and made his way determinedly up the steps towards the box where the coaching staff sat. He raised his fist and shook it. “You should be ashamed,” he shouted. Vern Cotter sat unmoved, if he had noticed the outburst he gave no sign of it.
There is no player at the highest level of tennis who knows Roger Federer better than Stan Wawrinka and the Swiss No 2 believes his Davis Cup colleague is playing better than for many a year.
