Personal Interests

In those rare moments where she is not hard at work, Dr Joyce might be discovered creating masterpieces in the kitchen, with her nose in a book or tending the family German Shepherd, Sharkie. She has a mild case of francophilia, and when not floating or boating in the waters of Jervis Bay or the Hawkesbury River, she travels the world in the excellent company of her book club ladies. She is frequently adding to her fabulous wardrobe, which is worth a visit in itself (gynaecological problems aside).

In a past life Dr Joyce has demonstrated a talent for the creation of beautiful gardens, even in hostile climactic conditions, and her vocal talents have seen her perform in a number of choirs. In another life, Dr Joyce might be an opera singer or a concert cellist. Dr Joyce has invested much time and effort over the years in her daughter Frances, who thinks she’s wonderful.
