what do your parents do for fun?

I'm not sure I'm asking this in the right section but don't know where else to post this so here goes...

My mum and dad are not in the best of health but not really ill either - basically lots of aches and pains and trouble walking any distance. dad is 82, mum is 72. They are used to having a really active social life but since health has become more of an issue they stay at home more and more and seem to be getting quite depressed, especially mum.

What do your parents do for fun that doesn't require much physical exertion?

Thank you for all your suggestions. Starting this thread has made me think more about the situation and I realise my mum actually does quite a lot. The issue is that my dad doesn't do as much and isn't really interested in anything anyone suggests so mum ends up frustrated that they are not enjoying life together. perhaps the age gap of 10 years is finally starting to show? I will try to subtly drop some of the ideas given here.
