That's probably par for the course and an early learning effort. Good start.
I think I heard you complain about an errant left hand pinky. If so, don't worry. It will come down or it won't. I've noticed many good violinists having a similar affliction.

Thanks For the positive feedback Oliver, I also notice my left wrist was cocked at an angle. It's surprising what you learn from watching a video (including my use of Anglo Saxon dialect at the beginning, which might be ok for YouTube but I thought a little inapropriate for this forum so I deleted the original post)
I am amazed at how old people of my age are.....
IMHO I think videos are a superb teaching tool, better than a teacher in some ways. "Instant replay" can't be beat

But that was my favorite part 
For whatever reason I thought you were from the Southern US and was surprised to hear your lovely accent.
The playing was pretty good, too - we share that errant pinky posture. Exercises anyone?
