I was woken at 1am last night, by my bed shaking quite strongly. I had no idea till this morning that it was an earthquake, I thought I was having a bad dream, but it was enough to make me look out the window to see if a lorry had shed its load or something outside.
Because my bed actually was shaking, as if someone was holding it and shaking it.
I switched all my lights on, did a google search for "bed shaking in sleep" had some hot milk and went back to bed thinking I had a sleep disorder, or had been visited by the night hag.
Then this morning on the news it turns out my bed really did shake and England felt an earthquake measuring 5.1 on the richter scale, largest for 20 years.
It is said to be an occurence that happens every 20 years or so.
My sister in law's chimney fell down and through the roof, in their old farmhouse they had spent ages doing up.
I am freaked because I have been watching loads of Krakatoa stuff lately. I will be keeping my eye on Snowdon.
