Weekly haiku

Step forward, step back;
In Beijing, Spring comes halting;
Winter chill lingers.


Every year the same old thing: the weather is utterly schizophrenic in March - balmy sunshine and early blossoms showing one day, the next the wind blows straight in from the North Pole.

This weekend should be the real start of Spring (it has been every other year I've been here): a blissful season that lasts all of 8 or 10 days.
