voila, tu peux faire un mix
Hi Mary,
Alors, comment s'est passé ton mini séjour avec Ian ?
So, how was your little stay with Ian?
J'espère que tu en as bien profité.
I hope you made the most of it.
As for me, I had a visit from some friends. I had a good time. They helped me peel my vegetables, and we did the cooking together.
Tonight, I am going to see some friends, sadly I won't be able to play with their 3-year-old daughter. It's incredible all you can't do when one of your arms is missing.
Apart from that, I am helping by email a student for her research thesis on children psychology. This is a lot of work for her, and I hope she'll get her diploma.
("Sinon" en début de phrase est-ce typique français ?) euh, je sais pas..
When Ian is gone, you can be sure I'll tell you all the news.
(je suis pas sure du sens de la phrase en français..)
See you soon/ See you later
Lots of kisses
