Wij hebben de boomspiegel bij ons opgeknapt en hebben de bovenste laag aarde er uit geschept. In het centrum hebben we geen groenbakken maar wel ongeveer 40 liter aan tuingrond en onkruid/gras/wortels.

De milieustraat lijkt alleen snoeiafval te accepteren, de "GreenBag" idem en de gemeente verwijst naar een particuliere inzamelaar. Die particulieren kan ik alleen per container vinden, en dit zou in één zak restafval passen dus nogal onzinnig om het op te laten halen.

Er is ook niet echt ergens een gat mee op te vullen want alles is steen.

Iemand hier met groene vingers die weet wat je als centrum bewoner kan met een zak aarde? Iemand die nog wat zoekt voor een composthoop o.i.d.?

Het valt me de laatste tijd op: groepen figuren met junk-voorkomen op straat, o.a. in plantsoenen (bv. Morsweg) en elders in de stad. Valt het me op omdat het een trend is of heb ik dit eerder over het hoofd gezien?

Zijn er Hobby brouwers in regio Leiden die ik blij kan maken met een emmer hopbellen? Het ras weet ik niet maar het is een 4 jaar oude plant van een stek van Brouwerij van der Streek. Ze hangen nu nog aan de plant maar kunnen ergens komen de 1-2 weken geoogst worden.

I love volleyball but i don't want to be part of a competitive team, i don't want to be under strict training and tournament schedules.

I was thinking that if enough people are interested it would be cool to create a friendly/recreational english-speaking volleyball team, so that both locals and expats can feel welcome to join.

The team is not intended to be officially recognized, and play in official events. It's mostly a way for people who enjoy the sport to play and to create connections among the players.

We could play outside during the sunny months and rent an indoor field for the rainy days. The schedule would be flexible, based on people needs and decided through polls.

Contact me if you'd like to join and help me create this team or reply to this post and let me know what you think

Hi there,

I was looking for a quality and spacious gym, that also offers a variety of classes, sauna, maybe even pool (?), and the option for a PT who can guide through training with an injury. But i don't know if that is something you can find in Leiden?

All the gyms I have tried, sportcity and trainmore just don't hit the mark for me. Any other suggestions?

hey,

might be weird request to read unless you are in the world but we moved to Merenwijk in Dec and my son has had some issues settling in - he has been bullied out of the football pitch because of his autism and is struggling to make new friends. luckily he has a buurt friend but I don't want to depend on that overly.

anyway, if you are in area and have similar please get in touch. my son is level 1 audhd and has been through 10 schools already so as you can imagine long term friendships are hard to maintain.

he is not in school in leiden yet and that's another thing blocking his path to friendships.

He likes Minecraft, bouldering, judo, football, anime/manga and computers.

thought I'd ask, if ai drop me a message. thanks!

ps.

I'm Welsh and mother is dutch so he is bilingual!

Ik zoek een reparateur voor onze (vrij nieuw) Bosch afwasmachine. Google is vergeven met sponsored hits die helemaal niet in Leiden blijken te zitten, en eigenlijk alles op de eerste pagina komt er heel slecht vanaf op trustpilot etc. Google is broken, man. Hoe doen mensen dit?

Iemand hier een goede ervaring? Hoor het graag!!

Question for my fellow crafters, makers, and DIYers. Recently I found out about stores that sell secondhand craft materials, and about swap meets (where people trade instead of sell their craft materials).

Would anybody be interested in a similar concept in Leiden? Maybe we all meet up in a park with our old, unneeded materials. I don’t think stands would be necessary, but if you have a lot of supplies you’re trying to get rid of, you could set up a blanket and lay them out like in a free market.

I’m not much of an organizer, and I’m not sure about local laws on gathering in public places. But I’m willing to look into how a swap meet would be possible, if people are interested. I think it would be an awesome way to help people declutter and meet other crafty people.

Geef me je beste reden waarom jij in deze grauwe dagen lekker in de sauna zou moeten zitten :-)

Ik heb 1 ticket voor Blue Welness in het Level gebouw over. Dit ticket is gelding tot 13 september dus ik ga het niet meer gebruiken maar laten verlopen is zonde dus… wie heeft er interesse :-)

Edit - is weg!

Hi everyone!

As probably everyone, I am also struggling with finding housing in Leiden. I lived/studied/worked here for 8 years and have a master in clinical psychology. Last year I decided to move back to my home country for a work experience and gave up my apartment. Now I wanted to move back to Leiden and had to give up on the plan, as I could not find housing. My budget would have been up to 2500 Euros and still. I have a little cat and I sometimes wonder If this is also the reason why I can't find anything. I miss Leiden a lot and to me it feels like it is my home. Therefore I still would like to move back (to Leiden or the surrounding areas). I am looking for advice on Makelaars. Does anyone have any good experiences with any companies in Leiden? Thank you so much!

Hoi,

Mag je fietsen door steegjes (bijvoorbeeld tussen het levendaal en de Hogewoerd)? Of kun je hier een boete voor krijgen?

Hey all,

Since NS & GVB are striking on next Wednesday, the 9th of September, there will be no trains / buses for 24h.

However, unfortunately, I really need to get to Amsterdam some time in the morning and back from Amsterdam to Leiden that day and cannot avoid travelling. Is there anyone who is doing the trip that day that wouldn’t mind taking me along? I would be happy to compensate gas and pay for your lunch that day! :)

Thank you in advance!

Hi Leidenians, perhaps one of you can help me with an issue!

I visited your majestic city last week and had a splendid time! During one of my strolls, I walked in the Saint Suit Company (https://thesaintsuitcompany.nl) and purchased a leather jacket from there. Now, the jacket itself needed a little fixing, which the shop owner agreed to do before I collect the jacket. Unfortunately, I then urgently needed to abandon my trip and travel someplace else, which meant that I could not go to the shop to collect my purchase.

Since then I have tried calling the shop (not able to get through), I sent an email and a query through the form on the website, none of which have yet yielded a reply, unfortunately. I wrote and apologized for not collecting the jacket as agreed, and offered to cover shipping to my home. I would be immensely grateful (and buy a coffee) to someone who is in that area and stops by the shop one of the coming days, and asks the shop owner to check their emails and get back to me.

Hey everyone, a new game night is coming up! They are scheduled for each second Tuesday of the month. Everyone is welcome, there's no entrance fee. It's coming Tuesday and starts at 19:30.

I'll be bringing around 90 games in total for people to play, but everybody's free to also bring their own games to play. I'm only hosting it for fun - so there's no other type of incentive for me.

Location: Café Midi at PLNT, Langegracht 70 in Leiden

Hey,

I just moved to Leiden for my masters degree. I am learning Dutch but obviously it will take some time before I’m conversational.
How easy is it to find a job being a barista or some sort of cafe job when you only speak English?
I was working in a cafe as a barista and supervisor for 5 years back in England, so I have hospitality experience just lack the Dutch skills currently :/

Hello everyone!

Thank you very much for your help previously regarding the cutlery and dinnerware stores, your help was appreciated!

Now I am looking for a few more store recommendations for the following:

1. A basic supermarket for groceries. I believe Aldi and Lidl are the best choice, but are there local shops that are better in terms of both quality and price for meat, fish and vegetables with fruits?

2. Bathroom essentials, such as toothbrushes, deodorants, body soap and more.

3. Seasonings

4. A place that I can buy the liquid where the contact lenses are kept.

Even mijn hart luchten. Ik ben even helemaal van slag. Fiets ik over het Rapenburg word ik ingehaald door twee lachende jongens (ergens tussen 13-15 schat ik zo in) slingerend op een fatbike. Ze kijken lachend om. Niet precies naar mij maar gewoon achterom. Slaan ze daar bij de Doelensteeg links de brug op en rijden langs een nietsvermoedende man, type toerist. Krijgt die gast een kledder de inhoud uit een groot limonadebeker. Ik was helemaal zo van “WTF gebeurt hier”
Het gebeurde allemaal in een split second en uit m’n ooghoek zag ik die gast ze nog achterna rennen (maar ja, die waren natuurlijk alweer meters verder)

Waarom denk ik dan? Het stemt me verdrietig.
