I think 20-21 cms would be an adult size 2. A child size 2 would be for a baby. Are you sure about the sizes? I think 20-21 cms would be an adult size 2. A child size 2 would be for a baby.

I have about two dozen news sites bookmarked that often have relevant history articles and check them every day. I also have lots of on topic blogs bookmarked (see my blogroll for many of them). I browse PR sites for press releases from museums, universities, auction houses and and academic publishing sites for new studies. Then there are the random stumbles where I'll see a cool picture or look up something only to find there's a great story behind it I knew nothing about. Basically, I nerd out pretty much constantly. :) I've been posting daily for five years now, although in the beginning my entries were much shorter because I tended to just relay news stories with a smattering of supporting material. Nowadays I do a lot more research. I have a ridiculous number of Google News alerts set with keywords like “archaeology” and “ancient history” which keep my inbox full of links to potential stories.
