You are certainly not elderly. I know a few 80 and even 90 year olds who have more energy and vitality than some of the younger generation. It is never too late to learn a new technique. You may not be so quick at it, and you may not be an expert, but even the experts had to begin somewhere. The important thing is to do what gives you pleasure. I am not very good at FMQ and almost gave up after my first few attempts, but it does get better. I am not entering any competitions so what does it matter? Just have fun and congratulate yourself on your creativity.. Another young 70+
