Don Brash hopes he's on the comeback trail - not just to the corridors of power - but to his wife's affections.
The Act Party leader, who turned 71 yesterday, and wife Je Lan separated in December 2008 after 18 years of marriage amid accusations of infidelity on Brash's part.
But on Friday Brash told the Herald on Sunday of how they were "making good progress" towards a reconciliation.
"Je Lan and I separated nearly four years ago now. And for about two-and-a-half of those years I've been trying to achieve a reconciliation and we frequently have dinner together." He said they were having dinner together tonight and tomorrow night.
Asked where they would be dining, Brash replied: "She, as you may know, is Singaporean, and I mention that because Singaporeans tend to be foodies. They like good food ... she prefers to go to a good restaurant occasionally rather than an indifferent restaurant frequently."
