First, please put on a shirt. You obviously enjoy this piece and you have the notes memorized. Your tempo was a bit erratic and you seemed somewhat tense. I'd suggest playing the whole thing more slowly for a good while and try a few times with a metronome. Take a little breath at the cadences, just a micro-moment's delay; that may help reduce the tense, rushed feeling. Keep at it. It's a good start.

I'm sure its pretty hot/humid in his country so I can understand the attire :)

This invention has some quite difficult fingering which makes it more challenging than it actually sounds. brogers hit on your tempo which I think you need to pay attention to, perhaps you can play the piece a little slower so you can even everything out then bring it back up to speed. A general interpretation of Bach when we have Quavers vs Semiquavers is to make the quavers more staccato and the semiquavers more legato, I think you could overdo some of the quavers a little more with better effect.
