A few weeks ago, I blogged about how my cat was injured. Luckily, he has now made a full recovery. His cone has come off, his wound has healed and he is back to his normal badly behaved self. Last week, he even caught a mouse and left it under the garden table for us to find! I'm so pleased he is better.
Meanwhile, I have have been watching The Jump. The dare devil show has always had a couple of casualties, but this year it has reached an all time high. 9 people have been injured so far this series, ranging from mild but painful pulled muscles to broken bones and a series back injury. The problem is, normally the people who take part in these extreme sports are skilled individuals who have trained for years. This program sends complete beginners who's only experience in winter sports is a little recreational skiing and ice skating, on perilous courses designed for professionals.
I think the problem is that each year, reality TV shows feel the need to get bigger and better. With shows like The Jump, that is just asking for trouble. I think they either need to tone the show down dramatically, or drop it completely before anything more serious happens. Do you watch the jump?
