Yep, was just nodding off to sleep and thought hold on, my bed's shaking. Very odd.

You might find this shocking, but looks like I slept right through it.

No idea it happened but then I've slept through 2 IRA bombs.

This far away it was only barely noticeable in a sort of "what was that? I'll check the news tomorrow to see if it was an earthquake" looks like it caused quite a bit of damage closer to the epicentre.

Agreed, it was like someone had turned my bed onto a very mild massage chair setting. In my half asleep state I strongly suspected that I'd imagined it...

The Interweb is great:
Ten minutes after the shake I knew for certain it was a earthquake and where it happened:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww/Maps/region/Europe.php
It took the BBC another 10 minutes to tell me the details. (slackers)
interesting they have it as magnitude 4.7 rather than 5.2
It was initially reported as 4.7
