Morning!
Mrsmad your parents sound very similar to the way my grandparents were in their old age. They were very happy but when Nan wanted to go to Bingo and Gramp didn't feel up to it, they would bicker and it would always end up with her saying how she had lost her younger years to bringing up babies and how boring he was (he was very stoic / happy to sit quietly on his own and read etc). She loved the bones of him really though 
Well I got out of bed early, made myself a cuppa and managed to drop a pot of honey out of the cupboard onto 2 pint glasses which promptly shattered so I've just cleaned up broken glass, had to tip out my tea incase of glass shards and mopped up the squash that was in the glasses
So I've now taken the dogs on their short walk (they'll have a proper walk later), made myself a small hot choc in my winter cup and got back into bed with ddogs and DH, all of whom are snoring their heads off.
