calling getinfo will return the number of blocks my bitcoind has
knowledge of/processed/indexed , - however is there a way of knowing
how many blocks it needs to know of to be in sync ?

At present I manually check the number of blocks returned by getinfo
with what blockexplorer.com shows

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

Bitcoin generate 2016 blocks in two weeks. You can calc block's height by time.
Usually it's a litter short than 2 weeks.

You can use the debug window. Be careful though, it's not very accurate if your client is already up to sync.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
