Getting nowhere fast today. Any advice would be welcome!

1a Made pastor enter in prayer (11) I thought it might be an anagram of pastor enter, but it seems more likely to be "ministering". Am I right?

13a A swollen-headed man admits one calumny (9)
It ends in "n"

Thanks everyone!

1A Paternoster ....anagram

[shaneystar2]

13a Aspersion ..AS from a swollen (headed)..man ..person .+i ..one

Thanks Shaneystar. I'm not on the compiler's wavelength today!

7d ? Saw Tooting, maybe (11)

Help!

Commonplace . . . . cliche / saw

Tooting Common, SW London

Thanks johnalex, it wasn't the most obvious of clues! I've almost finished it but am stuck on the top left hand corner:

1d Home enabling average lad to get on (9)
promenade fits but makes no sense.

7a complains if vehicles are without parking (5)

10a fell in with German finding a berth (7)

If it's not obscure, then I'm just really thick today!

Thanx barbra -

7a carPs . . . . P for parking

[johnalex]

1d Parsonage . . . . home/residence for parson
par (average), son (lad), age (to get on)

[johnalex]

10a Mooring . . . . berth (boats)
moor (fell / tract of land) in G(erman)

[barbrajay]

Thanks johnalex. I got "carps" immediately after I asked the question! Such is life!

Till tomorrow........
