It's better to post the whole clue, Steven -

Jumbo 1294

26a A liaison with Titian, possibly adopting his way of life? (14)

Italianisation

[Mamyalynne]

Ah, there's a clue too.

[stevenj]

Thank you both very much. It is really good to be back after a period of (a)culture (SWMBO) and (b) "healthy" activity (himself) . Awful weather solved the latter and there was nothing that she felt I needed to see.....
So, bliss!

Sorry, Lie-in King. You are right of course. though I was lucky in the help I received anyway. May I add you to my list of people to thank, sir

[Mamyalynne]

Glad you're well and behaving Steven.

[stevenj]

While I am on, may I ask for an explanation please?
"Less than brilliant? Got near, it's implied." The answer I think is "No great shakes" which fits the letters I have and the first part of the clue. but I don't understand the second part (got near, it's implied)

[Mamyalynne]

Got near is anagrammed (shakes) to become No great

[stevenj]

Oh wow! That really is one for the records!
As always, it's clear when you explain...
And thank you Mamyalynne for your kind words. Yes, I am behaving! Both of them say so!
