Or something like the following (not bullet-proof I guess):
(defmacro test-diary-sexp (date &rest body)
`(let ((date ,date))
,@body))
(test-diary-sexp
(calendar-current-date)
(org-google-weather "De Bilt" "nl"))
... and in calendar-current-date lies your answer to the format question.
I do not know however whether or not `date' is the only variable that
is bound dynamically for sexps though; this is something that make me
go crazy too, so (better) documentation might be in order for one.
